However, the drawings do show the word "Cafe" and "Servery" - probably drawn by a different person to the one that did the Design statement.<br /><br />Having said that, my preference if definitely for a cafe!

On that subject I asked the question on the board blog yesterday as to whether a change of use application had been made to the council. Well it looks from Mr Rose's posting above this has not happened. This to me, makes the matter worse. The GWSR cannot be seen to be sticking 2 fingers up to legal procedures.

It does look so much better without the scaffolding! The foundry visit is an eye opener, did not think that we still did such hard graft in this country anymore! (apart from the volunteers on the GWsR!) We can't wait for the opening next year, it will be very emotional for some we think! BTW, who gets invited to the opening on the 18th?<br />Regards <br />Paul & Marion.

I have been talking to Wychhaven D.C.<br /><br />Wychavon District Council Planning Authority confirm that the plans have the appropriate station rooms designated for use as a Waiting Room/Café and Kitchen. If a shop and store are installed this in breach of planning and an enforcement officer will visit. If a change of use application and fee is received any objections can be lodged and will be dealt with accordingly.<br /><br />The meeting was to suggest a temporary shop in the form of a traditional large GWR hut with curved corrugated roof be installed on platform one, where there is space just north of the footbridge. A permanent shop could be built into an unallocated room in the building on platform two. It is vital that services for the café and kitchen are installed now as later retro-fitting would be very expensive.<br /><br />I have tried to speak to Richard Johnson direct but was unable to obtain his telephone number from his office although I made mine available to him. I was prepared to travel up from South Wales to meet him. I’m still trying.<br />Mike Rose.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07525916153025073355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-4123191181345822872017-11-08T00:03:38.218+00:002017-11-08T00:03:38.218+00:00Photos look great.

On that other dreaded subject I have commented on the Board's further non-utterance to the effect that the plastering of the café and kitchen should be stopped until the decision is reversed.

The picture of the Station building with the scaffolding removed looks great; and the section on the foundry brings back memories of my first job - steel testing, in the lab, but tours round the works were always good for a few hours to be lost to the system!
