It's hard to figure out just what his grievance is, but it appears to be down to the compensation he was paid, and the access he was provided with when the canal was restored and reopened for boats.From what I've read, he agreed to the changes, and he was paid a substantial amount of compensation at the time.The access he has now is more than adequate, and is in fact a hugeimprovement on what he had previously. He now quite has a handsome bridge over the canal, rather than a small underpass. We've been down to visit the site to assess the situation before deciding whether to change our planned cruise, so I've seen it for myself.
Without knowing more (and information about his exact grievance is hard to find) I think it's probably just a case of a chancer trying to screw more money out of BW. I hope he doesn't win, as his totally inconsiderate actions have caused us to change our plans for the last three years!
However, until someone has the sense to lock him up, he's free to do whatever he likes to disrupt the Rochdale.
Mucking fuppet!
