Evening all,
It looks as if Plumpton Level Crossing in Sussex will have its wheel-operated gates - which are listed - for a while longer. The PLCC (Plumpton Level Crossing Campaign) attended a meeting this evening of Lewes District Council and the upshot is on the PLCC's Facebook page. I had heard from the signalman on duty on Friday 25th that the gates were due to go to a heritage railway (Kent & East Sussex?) so it is bad luck on them: at least the gates would have been preserved if the K&ES had got them.
In the meantime I wonder what implications this will have for the replacement of the crossing.....
HTIOI,
Dave

LDC Planning Committee has unanimously rejected NR's planning permission to remove our Listed gates!!!! The stats didn't add up and had been misrepresented and the committee concluded that there was 'Insufficient information to justify their removal and the impact on an important heritage aspect outweighs the need for their removal'. Members of the committee explained to NR that there were lots of Heritage railways that could provide the parts...
