The person would be responsible for just checking the gate monthly and reporting back to the estate manager, Lancashire constabulary will be issued with a key as they are with all of our claim and so any other emergency service responding to the site will be assited by the police and so you would have no responsibility there.

Can i just ask, as you walk there often what you thin of the site at present and the state of the site and whether you think that a re-generation programme would be a good idea?

Sounds decidedly dodgy. Why have the King-Wilkinsons and Chelmswood hired an illiterate as their recruiting agent?

At the moment it is, what it is - a disused quarry area teaming with its own natural charm and home to many wilfd flora and fauna - now why would you want to regenerate that - think you can improve on nature ""

or is this just a land grab, with the idea of building on it at a later date, because you may face opposition from the Local Ramblers Association and various bodies like that

The estate would make no structual changes to the site and i can assure you this is not a land grab, nor will we be building on it in the future.

After reading various news article about activities occuring at the site and recieving a letter from a member of the public we planned to claim the land and block acces via vehicles directly to the site, we also wish to open it up more in an effort to deter anti-social behaviour .

So, if someone came along ranting and raving and demanding access saying they were the owner of the land where would the volunteer key holder stand?

Does HBC not have any claim to this land? If not then how could they discuss doing anything with it which they have done?
