View Full Version : Bignold Park Right of Way ??
I see the gates at the top of the Bignold Park are closed now.
In the Groat David Sutherland stated that the path was not a right of way but I thought that to become a right of way, a route has to meet certain legal conditions; in particular, it must have been used by the general public for at least 20 years and must link two public places (usually public roads). Rights of way vary from long hill routes (often historical drove or kirk roads) to local routes used for walking the dog or as short cuts to shops, schools and other local amenities.
Surely this path meets these conditions and has done so for many years. The local authority have a duty to protect access especially as the alternative routes are longer and in respect of the cemetry road is dangerous.
The Scottish Government has brought in a right to roam legislation yet our local authority is failing to protect our basic rights.
In Scotland there are many rights of way that are not recorded as there is no formal register. I wonder if our local authority is being economical with the truth by meaning when they say that it is not a right of way they really mean it is not a recorded right of way ??

What is it with you Wickers? Demanding a right of way across a football pitch used for highland league football? Letting your dogs dump on the grass so that referees have to stop a high-profile game to shift a turd? Allowing your brats to releatedly smash the seats and set fire to the stand? Undoing all the good work the volunteers put into raising the standard of facility? And all because you're too bone idle to take a slight detour round the side? Are you proud of the image that's presented of your town?
Right to roam legislation was never intended to replace sheer common sense!
Keep off the grass!

We are not demanding a right of way across the football pitch. It is the footpath that we are seeking right of way to use. And also do not tar every one with the same brush. The vandalism is caused by the minority that show little or no respect. And how often are the seats repeatedly smashed? (again a senseless minority).
If you have nothing constructive to say then don't say anything. [disgust][disgust]
It's a public right of way and has been for many years, because a few glue/gas -sniffing knuckleheads have vandalised the stands does not mean that every law abiding wicker should be made to pay.
Get better security, i.e, cameras in place and get the police back on the beat instead of warming their behinds in their flashy cars pretending they are in an episode of the bill.

A situation makes me itch
Regarding Wickers football pitch
The one run by Munro and Titch
To help poor Wick become more rich
Some Wickers want a right to think
That kids who tons of Buckfast drink
Can throw team progress down the sink
By leaving turds on pitch to stink
And leave their town in deepest mire
The seats to break and setting fire
To stand where should be football choir
Repair bills just get higher and higher
So all the touring foreign folk
Who wish in atmosphere to soak
Think Wicker culture is a joke
That goalmouth jobbie makes them boak
You talk so glib of Roaming Right
What would you say if I tonight
Let dog in your garden leave a sh*te
To lie and steam in Wick moonlight
Whenever man or woman tries
In Wick above morass to rise
For team attempt to win a prize
The knockers come; surprise surprise
'It can’t be done, there is no way
We cannot bear to change!' they say
'Jump back in time to happier day
And that’s the way it’s going to stay!'
Please, Wicker chap, give up your whine
For sake of friends, both yours and mine
Your town needs help, so heed the sign
Walk round the park and toe the line

People refusing to comply with a simple request like 'please stop your dog pooping on the football pitch,' and 'Please don't burn down our stand' don't seem very community spirited to me. Neither do those who either condone such behaviour or refuse to condemn it.
But then maybe things are viewed differently in Wick?

Wick Academy ARE addressing it in a way that wont affect the majority of law abiding people in that area - they're closing the gates and requesting that people take an alternative route to enable them to improve security.

You'll never make the place totally ned-proof, but I suppose having closed gates means that anyone inside has 'broken in' and is obviously up to no good. Makes it easier to move them on or lift them.

Don't know what you're all moaning about, it's only shut at one end, all you gotta do is climb the wall...problem solved, should be even easier for those one their way back from Homebase with a new ladder ;)
Highland Council as Planning Authority is empowered to defend rights of way under the 1967 Countryside (Scotland) Act. However the way in which it does that is at the discretion of its elected members and is not obligatory. In this case the route may meet the criteria for a right of way but there is no point in pursueing an expensive legal action against the occupiers of the football ground particularly as the Council wearing another hat is probably already supporting this activity. The Councillors have been aware of this background for some time which is why the alternative route has been upgraded and is in good repair.
The very small extra distance which Wickers might have to walk can only be to the good in fighting obesity and car dependency culture in Caithness. Of course it is entirely open for anybody sufficiently agrieved to mount their own right of way action to reopen the route as was unsuccessfully attempted at the notorious Pugwash Lane in Reay which was another storm in a tea cup whipped up by individuals with a bee in their respective bonnets.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, so they say
Now Wickers have to fight to prove they have a Right of Way
No more to roam with doggie over football field of dreams
And Highland opposition offer no disgusted screams
No more to lurk in dugout with a bag of glue to sniff
No spaced-out Wicker ned on Buckie, rolling dodgy spliff
No flames of retribution as the seats begin to burn
And no more bright graffiti showing spelling they should learn
So where will neddy characters find now to congregate
While on descending testes they are forced to sit and wait
Where now for chavvy female types to gather in their droves
Comparing their attire, all bought from NewLook store their clothes
It’s all an education, sure the kids will have to learn
And find another way their growing badge and spurs to earn
In Wick they’ve figured out school building fabric needs attention
But there’s more to growing up than every night a brief detention

I refer to earlier comments about 'community spirit' requiring people to make sacrifices for the greater good.

The gates are pointless and a complete waste of money, no one using it as a way to get from A to B suddenly thinks halfway through their walk...Mmmm...i must go rip up some of those seats and poop on the grass...do they?, the wall can easily be negotiated by any would be vandal...or failing that...if the would be vandal is a midget with no access to a ladder they can easily go to the south road entrance which cannot be closed as it provides access to the grounds keepers house, it's like trying to prevent buglars from entering your house by locking the front door and leaving the back door wide open.
The most pointless wate of money since the Wick Business Park

Other towns in the highlands have enterprise parks that serve to attract new or developing businesses. Some have been very successful, some less so. Other attractions for these businesses are;
Convenient location to market/for materials
Availability of well-trained, enterprising, forward-looking workforce, willing to embrace change
Local attraction for incoming staff
Welcoming environment
Sporting facilities and activities
Good health & educational facilities for families
Pick which of these Wick has in abundance and let us know your solution to the problems Wick faces.
And of course, if no enterprise park existed, someone would be bleating about how HIE or CASE were doing nothing to help poor Wick.

Agreed, well to a degree...i never really found the comedy of Ben Elton or Harry Enfield funny, British Comedy really lost it's way in the 90's, not a lot then made me laugh that's for sure, i'm in my [ahem]...mid 30's so i grew up on Dads Army, Last Of The Summer Wine, Allo Allo, Benny Hill, Russ Abott, The Two Ronnies etc, classic timeless comedy, but i would consider 'Monty Python' 'The Young Ones' 'Not The Nine O'Clock News' 'Spitting Image' as alternative comedy....and i LOVE those shows, British Comedy nowadays is in pretty good shape but will never be as funny as it was in the 70's and 80's

And seeing as you asked, No...that person is not me, the 'if you build it they will come' thinking behind the park was a really bad idea, Wick has none of those things you listed in abundance, the place is a dump and if i could afford to move you wouldn't see me for dust, Wick is good for two things...getting pissed and takeaway food, it has very little else to offer, you may wish to view life around here with rose tinted glasses...i'll stick to reality if that's alright.
You've got it bad, I'm sorry. You stick to your reality, I hope things work out for you, I really do.

Money well spent?...what do we have there?, the Dentist building and a couple of empty office spaces with no sign of any take up...oh yeah..it was money really well spent

Don't be sorry, don't have it bad at all, i take very little to do with Wick or Wickers these days, and that suits me fine.

I never watched a lot of Porridge but i do find it funny, Fawlty Towers is pure genius...i just had a little brain fade and forgot to include it in my original post.

Well I for one think that the dentist building is worth the whole £3m itself! The state of NHS dentistry locally was dire, and the private practices were cashing in big style - all changed thanks to that place.
BTW Porridge goes down as my fave old classic too :D

Nothingmuch has changed in the town as far as Dentistry is concerned, if you were lucky enough to get taken on at the new Dentist practice that was fine, but last time i asked the waiting list was around 2 years, i still have to pay over inflated prices for Dental work and will have to for a long time yet.
Great thread, started of with a boring old right of way dispute and has gone on to alternative comedy, dentistry and a business park!
Keep the horizontal thinking going guys and who knows where we'll arrive at. I like it.

I can see both sides of the argument,yes the park belongs to the people of Wick but due to the vandalism and dog mess they have had no alternative but to close the gates. It is a shame but its the world we live in. I dont agree with all the negativity on this thread aimed at Wickers, vandalism is a nation wide problem not Just in Wick. Every time there is a thread about something in Wick you get the usual idiots crawling out of the woodwork to slag the town down, why not get a life and do something about your own "superior" towns.
leave Wick alone it'll get by all on its own!!! :(
As anticipated, the rascals who might vandalise the park have found a way in. It wasn't that hard. We watched a pair of them scale the wall and make their way into the park last night.
Seems a shame that the folk who would use it only as a shorter route, are the ones who are being kept out.

argreed!
sorry gizmo,iv got the wrong person in mind which was why i said what i said earlier.there is too much of that in wick though!
i hope it stops the vandals,im sure they will find sonething else to wreck.
i hope you manage to move,as living somewhere you hate and not speaking to wickers then im sure you would be better off somewhere else:)
but remember,they are everywhere!:lol:

I never said i hate living in Wick, i said it's a dump with little to offer, i was maybe slightly quick off the mark with my 'wouldn't see me for dust' comment, it's not just Wickers i don't speak to...it's people in general so would make no difference where i lived really :)
i find it funny someone says somthing and everyone of you pounce on them like raw meat
wick will never get a grip untill people figure out things aint done for you,you need to do them for yourself...i think most of you have been addin sour milk to your tea/coffees
get a grip.....200 yards nuff said case closed
oh and plz do quote and examine my words i mean you have nothing better to do
anyways i wont be responding to such direness

Shouldnt that be "gates closed" ? ;)
Noticed that while drinking my sour milk in my tea in a bowlie!!!!
That's the forward-looking, enterprising, community-spirited, 'supportive of endeavour' attitude we've come to know and love!
What is it with you Wickers!?
Maybe its because we dont have a "pure" bloodline unlike some places!! ;) lol

Only scorrie would notice that, well done 10/10!! :)
