Government sets up public enquiry into Ham Drive pathway closure

Plymouth’s pathway protesters in Ham awoke today to find something exciting on their doormat – and it wasn’t a Christmas card.

Residents who led the protests against the path were informed today that a public enquiry was being set up by the Department for Transport and that it would be held in the local area.

Local Ham councillor Tudor Evans said:

“I thought the matter had been settled when the Council changed its plans. They have either forgotten to inform the DoT or they have a secret plan to re-introduce it by the back door, via the enquiry route.

“Residents now need reassurance.”
