In spite of protests, The St Swithun's Way historic long-distance footpath has been diverted around Treloar College's grounds at Holybourne, to allow space for a huge new car-park.This extraordinary prison-camp like fence has been erected around three sides of the square. It is not clear whether this is to keep ferocious pupils in, or marauding ramblers out.
What is clear is that it is a disgrace to Alton's custodianship of its historic heritage
We failed here, but this is the sort of nightmare the Alton Society exists to try to pre-empt.
