hi websailor
-
what begs the question is, there was 8 manonettes on the same land till about 4 yrs ago, so why now are they filling the old shafts up,
-
and does it mean the whole estate as open tunnels. ive handed it to someone thats going to look into what they arnt telling us, are the houses safe, it was a few yeras ago we had the small earthquake here, as it changed something jim

looks like ,rain as stopped play, unless something as happened. jim

looks like the rain isnt going to stop work today, the big diggers are here, and making big holes all over the place, so the foundations must be going in.
-
phase one about to start, layins out of the window jim

if anyone still watching thread.
-
the workmen are now starting on the foundations, so the houses will soon be next.
-
inline with the new "estate" they council as now started to lift all the old pavement slabs, to replace with tarmac.
-
i found out at 8am this morning, when the house shook and a massive bang across the road.
-
the bulldover had been filled with slabs, and the lot dropped into an empty wagon, i jumped up, and thought it was an explosion or earthquake. lifted the blind and saw the dozer backing off.
-
i still dont know how i didnt have a mild attack or stroke, the neibours went ruddy balistic,
-
but true to form, they didnt give a fig, and carried on. jim

Hi Jim

It must have been very frightening to hear such a loud noise in the morning.

They were very thoughtless about the health of others, and seem to be badly supervised.

I hope you won't have to suffer from the thoughtless behaviour of the workmen.

Hi Jim,

I watch this post with great interest.

Very sad to hear of the disturbances to your neighbourhood.

I reckon these disturbances will be much reduced once foundation works are completed.

there are at least 50 pit entrances within a mile of me, over 30 in my street and surrounding areas, i will be scanning a page later today at the library.
-
and sending to the nat coal board to find the names and tunnels layouts, if they arnt private ones. so watch this space

Jim 50 pit entrances are a lot for an area of a mile. I hope that there won't be anymore accidents caused by these coal shafts. Must be very worrying for you to know that you live on a coal mine that could collapse at anytime.

I hope that the coal and local authorities will do something about it soon.

no`work today on the ite, but three heavy buket diggers have been put in the compound, so looks like monday will be yet another 8am rude awakening jim
