Beard Blog - Day 33
Day 33I haven't given up, despite the overwhelming desire to. My beard is a proper beard now. If I had to categorise it I'd say it was Lord of the Rings but it will probably be Biblical by the time the lights are installed. I was hoping it might get softer as it grew longer but it hasn't. Each hair is thick and wiry and when the beard is pressed or touched the hairs turn and spike my face. It's like a living coat of armour covering the lower part of my face. The plus side is that it keeps my face warm when I ride my bike!
After writing a letter to the Deputy Chief Executive of the Council, Steve Mycio, I have received a more realistic assessment of our situation from the various Council departments involved. I have now learned that we definitely do not have planning permission to put the floodlights in. The plus side is that because Steve Mycio is pressing them, the Planning Department are moving faster than normal. I've been told to expect planning to be completed in 5 weeks rather than the usual 8 weeks.
During that time the traffic notice that United Utilities have issued will be over and the process of cable laying should be in full swing. I'm hoping for a seamless transfer from UU to Amey, so when UU finish their task Amey take the end of UU's cable and connect it to their floodlights. And then we can all breath a sigh of relief and have a big party!
