Just an assumption from observations most evenings and weekends seeing boys play there. I think it's a shame that the tunnels have had to be filled in in such a way too.

Also the builders aren't shoddy - my new home is great! The plans on site have all been built to specifications agreed during planning permission stage .... it is not the developers 'fault' that some things haven't been preserved as well as you may have wanted them to have been. It would have been agreed when the land was sold.

The statue and little copse area was preserved, the graveyard preserved. And the chapel/church building. Not sure what else could have been as I obviously didn't know it any other way. But it's sad to see the developers get the stick for it when I have a great new home in a lovely, mostly friendly, village!

Was it necessary, in all the years it was there? Before construction began.
Maybe it was nothing to do with children or construction, it was to do with publicity.

I personally knew it was there, when I was kid finding my way around.

It's a free country, adopt whatever PC stance you want. Just don't tell me which stance I should take just because it clashes with your opinion.

Too few examples...

Queries, Did I miss something? Who said it children?

Went to have a peak yesterday, couldn't find the caves, just the Mary statue, which I'm surprised is still in one piece and not been vandalised.
Quite surreal, I agree it is a very important part of the village's history and culture and needs to be retained for future generations.

So glad you've managed to see down there yourself and managed to share this pics for all to see. I think we should contact the local paper too!
But you can see how it's not very clear that it's not a public space either hence why children have been exploring!
