Category: Culture
Region: United Kingdom
Target: BUILDING COMPANY
Web site: http://bunker13.forumup.co.uk
Background (Preamble):
13 GROUP FIGHTER COMMAND HQ BUNKER IS A UNIQUE BUILDING AS IT IS THE ONLY 1 OF 2 LEFT IN THE WHOLE OF THE BRITISH ISLES OF ITS TYPE. THE OTHER BUILDING SIMILAR IS THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN BUNKER AT RAF UXBRIDGE.
13 GROUP FIGHTER COMMAND HQ IS OVER 70 YEARS OLD AND IT PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART IN NORTH EAST HISTORY DURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN. IT'S HARDEST DAY DURING THAT BATTLE WAS ON THE 15TH AUGUST 1940.
FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
AS YOU ALL KNOW, BUNKER 13 WERE FIGHTING A HUGE BATTLE TO TAKE OVER CARE OF THE HQ BUNKER. WE WERE TO PRESERVE THIS HISTORICAL BUILDING, RESTORE IT BACK TO IT'S FORMER GLORY AND OPEN IT UP AS A PLACE OF HISTORICAL EDUCATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
BUNKER 13 WERE ASKED TO CANVASS RESIDENTS AROUND THE BUNKER TO SEE WHETHER THEY APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE FORMER 13 GROUP FIGHTER COMMAND HQ BUNKER BEING RESTORED AND USED AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL. THE OUTCOME OF THAT BALLOT WITH THE RESIDENTS WAS AS FOLLOWS:
92% For Bunker 13's vision for a future for the bunker.
6% For existing plans to mothball the bunker and leave disused.
2% Spoiled vote (As stated soon not to be residing at Central Grange as their house is sold so it was deemed unfair for the vote to be counted for either option when deciding the future of the bunker for existing and future residents with all the cost implications etc to take into account)
WE WERE TOLD BEFORE WE CANVASSED THE RESIDENTS THAT IF THE BALLOT WAS SUCCESSFUL (WHICH A 92% SOUNDS SUCCESSFUL TO ME), THEY WERE TO FORWARD OUR RESULTS TO THE POWERS THAT B.
BY THE LOOKS OF IT THEY HAVE TOTALLY IGNORED THE RESULTS AND OPTED TO PASS THE BUNKER OVER TO THEIR MANAGEMENT COMPANY ANYWAY AND IGNORE THE RESIDENTS WISHES. THEIR PLANS FOR THE BUNKER ARE SIMPLY TO SECURE IT AND SEAL IT UP AND LEFT TO DECAY AND NOT TO BE USED.
THIS TOO ME SEEMS A TOTAL SHAME, LETTING AN IMPORTANT, HISTORICAL BUILDING LIKE THIS GO TO WASTE AND THEY ARE MORE OR LESS SAYING THAT EDUCATION AND REMEMBRANCE IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT.
ONCE AGAIN, I AM APPEALING TO EVERYONE ON BEHALF OF BUNKER 13, PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO SAVE THE FORMER 13 GROUP FIGHTER COMMAND HQ.
ON BEHALF OF BUNKER 13 (RAF BLAKELAW PRESERVATION GROUP) I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK EACH AND EVERYONE WHO HAS VISITED THE PETITION PAGE AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SIGN IT.
