So it goes on ....... appeal lodged

[Cheryl]

I understand it is all over The Gazette that Dreamland Live have lodged an appeal.

What exactly do we now face, who do they appeal to and how much longer will this hold things up for. I sincerely hope this is not going to take years!

Do they need good reasons to appeal and what would they be? Is there any chance they could be successful with their appeal or are they doing it out of spite to make as much difficulty as possible.

Who pays for all of this?

Sorry there are so many questions, I hope someone knows the answers.

I try to keep it real as I know they are just a business looking to stay afoot like all companies are, but the hatred I feel for that company is unreal.
I understand why they took the CPO to public inquiry, fair enough, but now it is getting to breaking point. It has been too long, too much money has been wasted on all these legal battles and the people want their Dreamland back. So many obstacles. Next thing I know is, they are going to try to appeal an apepal. It is ridiculous in my eyes. So bored with it all.

Plus, what I don't get is, this Toby Hunter seems to contradict himself. He states he feels the Heritage park will be a just a poor selection of rides on tarmac, when his plans include the Scenic, some 4d experience that doesn't raise by eyebrows in the slightest and a few odd rides. It just doesn't add up.

Anyway, I too would be interested to know the answers to those questions.

To me it would seem that it would be unlikely that there is anything else they could offer that would change the outcome.

Thanks Gary for posting the link to the Gazette article. Concerned at the word 'lengthy' being used regarding the appeal.

Looks like we may have a few more years to wait Hope we don't run out of money to fight this.

hopefully we will know in the next few days if they actually have

Any news on the appeal yet ?

There's something to be said for bowing out gracefully.
At this point, they;re just trying to punish the public by costing them more money. In a perfect world, the appeal will be dismissed in short order.

Hi Jim

Unfortuantely this is England and the processes of law run slowly (unless of course your dealing with a bunch of looters in London) so even getting the a date for a 1st hearing could take months, then the hearing will take time and the final judges verdict more time, unfortuantley its entirely possible that this process could take years at at the least months, I think this is what thay are hoping for becasue if the the unfortuate was to happen and the senec became further damaged then it would help there case, however the council can place and urgent works order on the senic to force the work to be done to make it safe and secure.
