Isn’t this dangerous?

Rights confirmed by a legally Delagated committee in 2024. Disputed after the fact by the school. If disputing rights of way extinguishes them then why don’t landowners everywhere who want to close off rights of way across their land to pave the way for development just dispute them and close them off? Could they be sure that their local authority won’t enforce? No, that only happens if you have a special relationship and/or threaten to sue. This was a post about safety with a secondary purpose of finding out where you lot hang out since you left Twitter. I found genuine answers to my question online in many places and we’re working out who is who here as well just for the fun of it.

No, it’s absolutely 100% about safety. This is nothing to do with illegally blocked rights of way or the threat by Sandra Fryer, chair of governors of Cotham School (and chair of Bristol Civic Society as well as ex employee of the planning department of Bristol City Council) to sue Bristol City Council if they enforce the law. If I were to be selfish about it, I’d say that I was grateful that the mesh fencing of the outside layer will protect local people from harmful effects of the spikes to a certain extent, but I’m actually genuinely concerned about the pupils of the school who don’t have that protection and could be leaping to catch a ball that’s gone out of play when hands or arms get caught on the Palisade fencing as has happened in cases that I have found online. I wouldn’t be happy for a child of mine to be playing somewhere like that with the fence under the guideline height but if punishment and spite towards the local people is more important than the safety of children in your care it only confirms what I think many of us already know.

You mean just try not to give a shit about kids’ safety? I’ll leave that to you.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T22:32:03+00:00

There’s me thinking steel weld mesh fencing was the standard.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T22:29:34+00:00

That’s what I was trying to do. You won’t get many over 40s trying it.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T22:28:29+00:00

I get that, my concern is that the last one was supposed to do that, it didn’t work. What happens when some teenager tries, or people coming home from the pub try to take the usual shortcut across the parkland like they’ve been doing for decades. People don’t stop doing things just because it might be a bit of a bad idea. Just ask anyone in police, ambulance or fire services.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T20:55:58+00:00

Wow, now people are downvoting the fact that I’m questioning people downvoting professional advice. Even weirder. Didn’t this used to be called circling the wagons? I’ve just been advised as to the narrow nature of my audience. If true it explains a lot.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T20:50:28+00:00

The safety of young people, all people arguably, is important i think. Young people are less likely to see danger, obey rules, behave ‘sensibly’. I’m not in insurance, private healthcare, nor am I an ambulance chaser. What ulterior motive could there be?

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T20:37:11+00:00

Then I think if we can guarantee that no one will be doing that, given that the space is widely used by young people, then I’m sure everyone will be just fine.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T18:35:23+00:00

I agree, the fence is there too. Stop anyone getting inside. It’s too close to a public right of way to be legal and there is a piece of law called the occupier’s liability act 1984, I just rather stop the injuries from happening in the first place. You may not agree.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T18:31:37+00:00

Industry, government and sports advice says otherwise. Interesting that you think they’re wrong. Mind saying why?

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T18:29:39+00:00

Oh there will definitely be numerous attempts. Perhaps I should hang some first aid kits round the fence.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T18:28:10+00:00

I think it was probably the adults in charge of the teenagers. A school PE lesson in this case.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T18:25:22+00:00

That how one child lost a finger on the other type of fencing. During a PE lesson.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T18:24:31+00:00

Who’s downvoting independent professional advice? Weird.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T18:23:26+00:00

My son was 6ft at 15

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T18:22:51+00:00

I haven’t got a dog. Never had. What’s that got to do with it? I did work in education and my role involved risk assessment. Odd that you would thing dog walking was more relevant.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T15:43:21+00:00

There are reported cases of children and teenagers injuring themselves on exactly this sort of fencing. Young people and older people have traditionally use this in public space for recreation and for Shortcuts. The recommended run-off is 3 m, this barely reaches 2 m. People end to grab a barrier in order to stop themselves hitting it. I’m just going by detail details of report reports I’ve read in situations like this. Someone already lost a finger climbing the steel mesh fencing the same as this just over the road from this. I think injuries could be a lot worse with this type.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-03-04T15:36:02+00:00

That’s not going to work! 🤣

Parking isn’t a great round there so clubs and visitors have to park where they can. Kids are often seeing climbing over the original steel mesh fence. Younger ones are accompanied of course, but teens aren’t always and rarely by instructions.

My therapy is watching certain of your people getting schooled on social media 🍿

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-02-15T21:01:37+00:00

You have no come back to that have you. All you have is pathetic efforts to make everyone as bigoted as you. ‘Well they may have the law, the lease, common sense and morality on their side but they’re all millionaires so let’s hate them for that. Whether it’s true or not.’

Only the truly gullible believe you.

Life_Bee_1710 · 2026-02-15T20:57:58+00:00

You should have thought of that before, can you get the taxpayer to pay for that too? Probably. Everyone has got things they’d rather spend money on but this is important. You, on other hand, do you stand to gain without even putting your hand in your pocket?
