Re: EH Inspectors visit The Rotherwas serpent

"...there is no doubt...the Rotherwas road will be finished."

Well, that doesn't fit with the fact EH has just said they are going to make a decision whether to schedule it or not.

Or does it? Will EH, as the statutory guardians of heritage, ride in on their white chargers and save it? Hard to say, isn't it? All we have to go on is their previous record...

Anyhow, in the meantime, I think it would be beneficial if the campaigners had a practical, achievable vision of how it could be utilised as a tourist asset to present to the people of Hereford.

It could be quite big. The length that it has been said to be is nothing to do with its length, merely the length that has been exposed, from one side of the road line to the other. On each side are open fields so it may extend across those. On one side, one field away, is a hill - and it points straight at that, so...

It seems to me, if it turns out to be long, its route could be laid out with marker posts and that would be very effective, especially if viewed from on the hill. In addition, a small section could maybe be exposed and preserved under glass or in a building. How practicable would that be? Does anyone know of similar situations where that has been done?
