IPSWICH DOCK ACT 1918.

I read the 1913 Act and it does provide for the 'stopping up' of
New Cut East.That was concerning although distant memory
( that is about all I have now) recalled some provision that
favoured the Right of Way not being 'stopped up' and I was
correct for once. The 1913 Act provides for the New Cut to be
'stopped up' but only with the consent of the Council and the
erection of the gate. The council refused permission and the
war intervened so the gate was not erected and thus the New
Cut was not 'stopped up'. However there was then the 1918
Act which neatly side stepped the need for permission from
the Council but still depended upon the gate being erected
and I cannot find any evidence this happened. There are over
400 members of SuffolkRights Of Way Limited and some are
in their 90's and none can recall a gate being erected so that
is the end of that and New Cut East is now, in my
opinion unlawfully gated and blocked off:-)
