I recall some years ago seeing a number of oil well units in South Humberside which had no benefit whatsoever to the local economy.<br />If the exploration company is willing to pay for a new permanent road access to the sites it could become a start of a much needed alternative entrance route to the present Gilberdyke Industrial Estate. In this way with a continution of this starter route we can finally get the heavy goods vehicles out of the centre of the village and make the road past the school safer for the residents and our children.John Jessopnoreply@blogger.com
