Anyone else horrified at the hideous new 'kissing' gate at Burbage North?

Not content with their effort at combating the path erosion with tons of rock that looks a lot worse than the erosion, they have now added a lovely galvanised steel monstrosity that you could probably see from space! Theres no hope of it dulling down or blending in. I just hope they are planning on painting it but I doubt it.

Why couldn't we have a wooden one?  :roll:

yeah i was musing on this on tues night. Why did they do that bit of the path? it was always the most contained bit - it didn't seem to be getting wider or deeper. Burbage West seems much worse - its about 20m wide in some places. I'm sure it will weather and blend in over time, but cant see that it was a priority.
And the gate is truly gross! it looks like the Last Great Engineering Project.
