Hambledon Hill and Quarry
 

Hiya i work for the Chelmswood estate, which inturn is owned by the Kingwilkinson Family estate. The Estate is planning to claim and re-generate Hambledon quarry and Part of Hambledon hill for the public. Does anybody on here live close to this area who would be willing to check up on the site monthly and be a key holder.

By check up we mean just ensuring that the gates to the site are locked throughought the re generation work for health and safety purposes and generally reporting back to the estate manager, and yes unfortunately it would only be on a voluntary basis.

sorry i have said it wrong, under britich law and the law of adverse possesion we are required to use the site for 12 months prior to starting work and it would be for the first 12 month that we would require a volunteer.

I like that word, Adverse Possession.

So, if you are using the site you should be checking yourself - maybe better if you defined "using"

and for the sake of argument I live very close and go walking up there fairly regularly,

You need to define what the responsibilties would be and what the legal status of the keyholder is, say if statutory bodies, or Police etc want access to that land

Re: Hambledon Hill and Quarry
 

By using the land we mean occupying it for the required 12 months before work can begin, we have checked the details of the site with the Land registry and it is currently unregistered so anybody claiming to be the owner would have to proove it by showing deeds ect.

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?

'The site claims that people leave pornographic home-made videos and photos under rocks and tells of one couple in their thirties who love to be filmed.'

Perhaps the key could be left under a stone, and people could take turns.:D

Well yes in its simplest terms, except there is no recorded or traceable owner and this is the method employed in all of our other projects which has seen vast ammounts of land designated as public common land and donated to local communities.
