Shipham hall shaft

Whilst walking the pooch around Shipham village hall, I noticed that the lock on the hall shaft is missing. The entrance, if you don't know, is rght on a public footpath covered with a stainless steel hatch  and low stone wall - so not exactly hidden.

I've got a spare CSCC padlock  - any objections if I put it on? The shaft needs to be locked by something.
 
The shaft has a bolted down grill, so nobody can fall in. If it's locked it's more likely to get broken into.

I should have known better than to ask a simple question on here.

I'm going to put a nut and bolt on it and do it up tight, so kids can't get in but we can.
 
Good idea - also stops dog walkers dropping their bags down there (a CSCC lock wouldn't fit anyway)

Star Shaft has not been left open.

A couple of us cleared about a dozen dog poo bags from Star Shaft a few weeks ago. A couple of them had been washed down to the top of the second pitch.  :furious:
