Brill Windmill - BPCC AGM

[Tim Andrew]

It was pointed out at the Brill Parish AGM last night that the windmill had been open to the public for 40 years without incident; so why would the Bucks Council want to close it for "health & safety reasons"?!! They said it was because of "tripping hazards" and hadn't bothered to send BrillPCC the report....ARRRGGHH. Anyone actually reaching the windmill without tripping on the common is unlikeliy to come a cropper in the 'mill!  Maybe they should close the common too in case someone slips on the mud?!!

aylesbury d c will not spend money on the mill, they want the pc to do it. >:(some things never change.

  I guess the council inspectors had been in the Pheasant first! Come to think of it--what is next!?! is the bar too close to the common/!?!

Are the Brill Society planning to raise awareness of this disgraceful neglect by BCC over the last 3/4 years with the local media / MP etc in an effort to get some action ? Brill Common won't be quite as attractive to all the visitors if the windmill is a pile of firewood !   

[ormandroyd]

Unbelievable. The council should be throwing money at the windmill . It is a famous sight in Buckinghamshire and they are a disgrace

[alan horton]

I have a suggestion:

1. Make the local press aware of the situation, announcing unilateral action by the Brill Society to re-open the windmill to the public on a specified date.

2. Invite local (and national?) press  plus regional TV to cover the grand re-opening.

3. Inform Bucks CC of the above, inviting a representative to attend.

Power to the People!
