I went into the enclosure and took some pics. The idiot shown in the first 3 pics tried to lift me and my wheelchair out but failed. Eventually a chap in charge took over and a reasonable conversation took place. This workman hadn't any idea it was a RoW apparently as he came from out of town. I made several phone calls to Ipswich Borough Council but as usual they didn't have a clue as they do not have a RoW officer. I also 'phoned Jackson Construction but they also didn't want to know so I faxed Mr. Robert Gough who owns the Hotel and gave him 24 hours to remove the obstruction. He didn't do so and rather called me I suppose which is unfortunate as I have never done a S.137 before and I am not looking forward to all the hassle involved either but now I have to discover how to use a S.137 Highways Act 1980 and that is not what I was hoping for but I suppose it was inevitable. I cannot get it done before Wednesday as I am fully booked and the Magistrates Court open such limited hours. On Monday I spend the morning with my carer at the disability sailing club and afterwards I have an appointment with somebody from the police over a complaint I made about my computers being siezed for 15 months and on Tuesday I am in London all day. Maybe I can squeeze it in Monday somewhere. I am not sure.
