Please shut the gate at Knotford

[dan]

Can people please shut the gate after them at Knotford. I'm getting sick and tired of turning up to find the gate wide open. It's not difficult to shut it. I know there isn't a lock on it at the moment, but with it being shut it acts a little more like a deterrent.

I don't won't people complaining once they had their cars broken into.

Thank you

Just had a text from a guy fishing on Bradford's water to say the gates are wide open on Knotford.

This is really now getting beyond a joke! There is no lock on the gates to try and keep the place secure and people areclearly to lazy to shut the gates behind them.

Please can the committee put a lock and shroud on the on the gate ASAP, it was reported to you on 29th August, failing that, I'll buy one and lock it myself, but it won't be a BWB at the price they charge.

I am trying to help people here, but they clearly do want to take it. if your vehicles get broken into or your tackle gets stolen, please, please don't come and complain to me

Thanks for welding a new lock and chain on the gate

just to let you know the new lock is working amazingly i packed up on bradford pond today and i drove past leeds lake to find a van and a car in the car park with the gate wide open come on lads it takes seconds to lock it behind u

[dan]

You are joking...some people. I'm going to start taking down registration numbers and those that cannot be bothered to lock the gate will go in front of the commitee

[wrighty29]

if my push bike gets nicked there will be hell to pay lol

It was my van in the carpark and the reason for not locking the gate.... Phills mate was waiting for him to get his stuff to the car to leave. I told him to lock the gate once he had gone and I would let myself out. As it happened after a lap I arrived before phill and left before him. I agree with keeping the gate shut and even taking reg plates just please don't take mine!!

[dan]

Don't worry about it Ben, I spoke to Phil last night after posting, he said that his lift and your van were in there but he said he locked it once he left. No other vehicles in there.

Don't need your reg number mate, you're alright

You mean your mobility scooter Paul, lol

Good idea Dan

That should force people to lock the gate, after all that's what its there for

Dan, Phil, keep up the good work down there, i don't think enough people appreciate exactly what you guys do

Cheers

I think you should stop moaning dan

To be fair guys the work that was put in to get the gate and the fenced area for cars was a ball ache so just appreciate not only your car, but others that are in there too

Well in dan. You have to persevere to get what you want sometimes. I haven't been to knotford since I crunched a wing on the tyres on the way in. The ground was rutted so it seemed to take you into the left hand tyre. Is it still the same as I've now got a wider car than the old one?

If you have a key Geoff you could get a seven toner in now.
