Barely two weeks left to register your objection.
Go online to SAMDev and fill in the questionaire -it looks complex, daunting, and time consuming
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OswestrySAMDev
BUT
you only need to say NO to the first three or four questions and give one single reason –
“I don’t agree
with any building near Oswestry Hill Fort, and leave the rest blank.

Thought for the day:
Just wondering if one can actually claim to BE an artist without being at least interested, not to say passionate about
preserving our cultural heritage………
Are not the lines (if indeed there are any) between archaeology and art more to do with the way we categorise and name things?
Is there not an increasing realisation that the many “archaeological artefacts” – so called – attached to “primitive peoples” – so called – are actually works of art?
They may not accord with the “high” art associated and categorised by our Colonially saturated Patriarchal Western views that seem, through language, to either ignore or de-value the rich heritage from other cultures, or, indeed be paintings on canvas, but………while we cling to the belief that human progress has been linear and that everything before us was somehow less advanced we are surely missing something really important.
…….answers on a postcard!
