Quote: Diogenes "Surely if anyone is to blame (assuming its a bad thing) its the directors of Reckitts who sold the land to Hull Brewery?'"
Wholeheardly agree. The land was gifted by James Reckitt to his employees and held in trust. Reckitts sold the land about 12 years ago without the employees knowledge.
Not quite sure on the ins and outs of the sale but am pretty sure it was sold with the caveat of recreational use still in place and the current owner and Barratts meet the caveat by having a small portion of the land given up for recreation but am certain this is not what was originally intended.
