“D, Leicestershire - could you post me the link then please, because I have checked several times through the L.C.C planning apps database and nothing comes up! perhaps its the way i am searching it huh!”

“Look at the planning applications database on the city council's website.”

“In which case Karen of the Bowstring, I told you sosville. reveal your source for the news this morning, and C, West End can reveal the new approved building plans to do anything with the land! simple.”

“Woohoo finally!!! Hopefully this will reduce the traffic on Narb Rd in the morning!! What a pain it has been over the last few weeks.”

“C has a very good point, Daniel. Karen specifically says that 'It was reported on the news this morning'. Which news? Is there a credible source that she - or indeed anyone who saw the same story - can link to? I'm honestly interested in seeing that report.”

“Daniel, just because plans have not be released to the public yet. does not mean the site will 'fall vacant for years', 'turn in a car park' or flat pack student accomendation'. The news Karen talks about, as far as i'm concerned, is made up to stir the rumour mill, like all those examples I have given above.

It just a case of protesters not letting the story and moving on...”

“Leicester Mercury ¿ 2021...¿Protesters Still going on about BOREstring Bridge¿.
Today, the leader of the original protester of the BOREstring bridge has stepped up her campaign against fresh air. The original protester has chained herself to absolutely nothing in a desperate attempt to seek more attention. As the last ¿ and only, protester of the tiresome campaign ¿we used to have a bridge here years ago¿, Karen was adamant that her tireless and pointless demonstration is being heard.
We interviewed passers by and onlookers...¿Surely there¿s nothing that can be done now, I mean, the BOREstring bridge was destroyed years ago and I¿m quite sure it¿s not coming back¿, one said. Another passer by remarked ¿I see her every day, and basically ignore her now and being chained to nothing doesn¿t appear to be that brave to me ¿ you¿d have thought she had gone home by now¿...
The owner of the new swimming pool said ¿I¿ve given her free tickets for swimming, but she doesn¿t appear to want any, we have a queuing system here now as it¿s so popular and tickets are like gold dust¿...

Go home...you lost...accept it everyone else has.

I¿m sure there¿s a worthy campaign to free the worms of Bosworth Battlefield you could waste you time on (and lose).

Good night...it¿s been a pleasure.

We¿ll see how strong your will power is about ignoring ¿Mr LFE¿...I point and laugh (along with many others who are so, so tired of this dull, pointless story!”

“C, west end - can you post ME the credible link with the building plans for the new DMU leisure centre then please?”

“Can someone post a link to the crediable source about the site remaining empty?

Or are some just stirring the pot and trying to make another pointless story for the leicester merc to print...”

“So those who cared about them, could have enjoyed a few more years looking at the bowstring bridge and drinking and celebrating Christmas in the Pump & Tap!

Leicester City Council, you've allowed DMU to make fools of you! They've made you lose credibility and popularity among a huge swathe of Leicester's people for nothing at all, at least not in the life of this council before the elections in 2011. It could cost Labour its leadership. I hope it was worth it for them.

The Council are desperately trying to pretend they care about heritage by including a feature on the topic in the December's Link. They need to remember there is more to heritage than just buildings. It includes our memories and associations too. We won't forget this fiasco and debacle.”
