How not to write a letter when you havent a clue what you are writing about.

Page 3. http://static.flickr.com/78/162686504_2e44803835_b.jpg This is just a load of nonsense where the writer Andy Sheppard shows his ignorance of his brief in so many ways. Firstly he says there is wheelchair access from Ravenswood then next page he says there isn't. He admitts to spending thousands of pounds of our money erecting a fence to keep out wheelchair users as it doesn't keep out motorcyclists and nor should it. This area has been used by youngsters and the not so young for at least 50 years to mess around with motor cycles. Every access point on Bridgewood and Braziers Wood is accessible by motorcyclists and yet they are stopping disabled people accessing the site on the pretext of keeping motorcyclist out. It is claimed there is wheelchair access at Ravenswood when there isn't and this is admitted on the next page. It is claimed it would not be a good thing for me to access Braziers Wood from Braziers Wood Road because there are no parking facilities there. I do not need parking facilities for my powerchair but on the other hand I cannot go up the road by the old airport at 6mph in my powerchair as that would be suicide but more to the point if there is no parking arrangements at Brazier Wood Road so what? There is an entrance there and some people do use cars to get there. That excuse just doesn't wash. I met Steve Hunt there a few weeks ago and both of us parked there but neither of us went into Braziers Wood. It is nonsense and rather like saying there is no parking area outside of some school or other so people shouldn't go there. Council workers start work about 7-30 and quit at 4-30 and only spend a few hours a week at Bridgewood and consequently they have no idea of what goes on. In essence this letter says we cannot keep motorcyclists out but we are keeping wheelchair users out however much it costs. There are many people like my wife and I who are being denied access to that we used all our lives before IBC spent our money keeping us out. Before IBC threw money at a site that is not even within their boundary but actually within Suffolk Coastals boundary, disabled people could get anywhere and please IBC do remember you are not the only ones with 4x4's and anyhow we managed very well before they became a popular form of transport to Sainsburys etc. Listen IBC. You have failed to keep motorcyclist out so give it up and tear down those expensive fences and gates and comply with the DDA and re-deploy your workers to the parks that are sadly neglected these days. This is a motor cycle I found on e-bay and it is similar to those used at Bridgewood and Braziers Wood Andy Sheppard. The gates and fences do not stop these as the lads just lift them over the fence or over a gate as do some adults too as they fit into a car boot http://static.flickr.com/51/162780828_11cfe5d880_o.jpg This is where lads drive down to the shore to go bait digging or whatever takes their fancy. You should be well aware of this as council workers put stickers on the windscreens if they are still there at 7-30am but I cannot get the final few yards myself http://static.flickr.com/64/160074932_8de1ba4823_b.jpg The gates and fences are completely redundant and they were before an expensive new fence was erected. All the fences achieve is to keep disabled people out and it is a disgrace. They are discriminatory.
