Re: Coronavirus update

Businesses already struggling. What chance when this sort of thing happens.

why is this even a story?
they ****ed up and have been asked to retrospectively apply for planning permission, which of course they should.

They've gone on the attack, haven't they?

"We're not tearing it down!" - nobody has told them to

"We paid for it all ourselves!" - the only reason this came to the attention of the council is because they were applying for retrospective funding for it.

Bizarre reading.

There are a few other things to consider as well. That decking can end up like an ice rink if it's the wrong (cheap) material, also, it's elevated, which means that it would have to be built to a specification with some basic calcs-Live load (that's us humans) and dead load (furniture fittings etc) Guard rails for kids, a business can't just knock up a structure and not consider the implications of safety, that may sound like bullshit to those that hate health and safety. the local authority etc, although they wouldn't be best pleased if the structure collapsed or their kid went through a gap in the guard rail. All the council want is retrospective, a few structural improvements may be asked of them.

I hadn't considered a lot of that (mainly because I don't have a clue about things like that in general)... But surely it doesn't matter?

They paid for it themselves! That's the key thing to take away from this.

Re: Coronavirus update

Yeah, that's why there's a maximum capacity with certain buildings be etc. People may think that it's just fire regs, but weight on the floor, especially if it's an old wooden beam structure has to be taken into account. Boring but true!

So what you're suggesting is that we should go there once lockdown ends, get ourselves a very minor injury caused by the decking and sue the bastards for something far more severe that could have been realistically caused by workmanship that hadn't been approved for it's intended purpose?

Bit convultuted perhaps, but I like your style.

Yup, and I could go on Facebook and post a picture (amongst my many posts and pictures slagging political correctness, health and safety, the world's gone mad etc) of my injury, name said business and owners, call them money grabbing scum, tell everyone what a terrible year I've had, and that the incident occurred on the same day that my bestie died 10 years ago, and top it off by wanting to know what the **** the council are going to do about it.

👍Fair enough.

Re: Coronavirus update

��Fair enough.

It wont be anything to drastic in my opinion. Disabled access has to be included as well.

Disabled access would prevent entry, of course.
