Hi all, A message has been passed to me, originating from the Salford Planning Department, requesting that people who have complained in writing direct to Les Hampson (the Developer) should also forward a copy of the letter to the Planning Department, if they have not done so already. This is to enable Salford Council Planning Officers to gage the true number of objections and the concerns of All objectors. The planning application will now be heard on the 7th March. I would also like to add a thank you to Carroll Treetops and Mike, who have taken on the task of answering requests for monumental inscriptions from Barton Wesleyan. The transcription was carried out by the MLFHS some 25 years ago and took nine members 1000 hours to transcribe the rear graveyard. The rear graveyard is again being transcribed, this time a full transcription is being attempted before half of it disappears under a car park. The main difference's with what was done in the past and what is being done now is that the transcription will be in full and in the same format as on the stone. Verses, numbers and mason's information will be included and it is hoped to photograph each stone. The MLFHS transcription only contains information that is directly of interest to genealogists. Verses excreta are missing although grave numbers were included where known. Please could people forward there objections to Salford Planning, if they have not done so already, Roger Hart, Little Lever, Bolton, UK.
