Talk:March 25

1986 - was it a Court order or a noise abatement order from the council? I think the latter but haven't amended it--Patrick Hearn (talk) 21:38, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

The SVRSevern Valley Railway News Boardroom Notes specifically referred to a Court Order on that date. SVRSevern Valley Railway News 80, "At the northern end of the line, boiler rivetting at Bridgnorth was banned by Court Order on 25th March." SVRSevern Valley Railway News 81 (different Director writing), "The appeal against the Court Order mentioned in the last issue was successful, and boiler riveting can continue at Bridgnorth."

However the GMs notes referred to a Notice. SVRSevern Valley Railway News 80: "Bridgnorth District Council recently issued a Notice ordering the railway to stop boiler rivetting being carried out in the open air…". SVRSevern Valley Railway News 81, "You will want to know about the Crown Court Hearing we attended in Shrewsbury on 11th July, and the judge upheld our appeal against the Notice issued by Bridgnorth District Council last year…" The latter was written in summer 1986 so if correct, "last year" would have referred to 1985. Possibly the Council issued a noise abatement order in 1985 (although not mentioned in SVRSevern Valley Railway News that I can find) and obtained the Court Order in March 86 to reinforce it? --Robin (talk) 09:41, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

With no info at all I can divine the original prohibition was a notice on 25 March 1985, which went to Court on 11 July 1985 to be appealed and overturned (which fits in with the GM's notes). Googling 'overturning noise abatements' has several court cases listed. .GOV.UK has abatement notices under councils. Both give credence to the GM's notes and the assumption I have made. On the basis of the GM's notes, should we make the change (with a note explaining the difference)?--Patrick Hearn (talk) 18:23, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
