Hi everyone,
Just been out to do some shopping, and noticed the front page of a local newspaper the heading 'Keep Out'.
From a quick scan of the first paragraph i learned that access to my local nature/birding reserve is to be brought to an end. The local Police have decided that keeping this access open to fishermen and birdwatchers etc, poses too much of a potential terrorist threat to the local working docks, here in Liverpool.
For a while now, ive often wondered why the police at the entrance of the docks havent made more of an effort to quiz me as i walk through to get to the Seaforth reserve. (which, incidentally, is situated in the middle of the very busy port/docks of Liverpool)
Sadly, it seems the extreme course of action is to be taken. The newspaper seemed to indicate all were banned, as of the 1st July, 2004. Ive only read the first paragraph, so i cant really say how drastic this move will actually be. Hopefully, i will have a fuller picture later today.
Im fully aware of the need for vigilance during this very security conscious time, but i would have thought issuing some kind of pass would have been a more reasonable approach. What will the 'threat of terrorists' stop us from doing next?
