Green Box (of tricks?)
A bloggee from Whitsome has sent in this image of a glorious winter's scene outside the village and wonders how fellow villagers will deal with the proposed development mentioned in the previous post and goes on : Not sure what can look worse than the green box attached though..
I agree it somewhat detracts from the rural view but seems to be a bog standard agricultural building-so many in the Merse which is after all mostly a farming community. And to my untutored eye the bigger eyesore is the hall(?) in front of the green whatever. But in Huttonian's view better what they have than a 'residential development' of executive houses, on good agricultural land, not affordable by the locals and ugly to boot.They escaped that in Paxton thanks to communal popular action.
This may be a case of being thankful for small mercies?
And may the credit crunch last long!? Stalled development is one obvious upside

The bloggee has corrected me :
"The green box isn't actually agricultural. I believe it has some kind of recycling purpose. The "de-forested" woodland there is where stone, rubble and old ceramic toilets etc. are dumped before being crushed"
I must go and have a look soon

Another bloggee has written:
It is a waste crusher and can be noisy at times, plus there is extra traffic there. However, that noise is masked by the racket from the 2 developments at the farm. It was yet another development objected to by locals before we all gave up the ghost. I quite like the colour though and it is not as unsightly by the prefab office/bar which suddenly appeared on the skyline some while back to assault the retinas of those approaching the village from the south.
