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?

Depends what your regeneration plans include ??? - care to tell us ????

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

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

We have already contacted hyndburn ramblers and notified them of our plans. The Estate is itself and enviromental re-generation cahity (excempt) and believes in the natural beuty of the countryside. 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?

What's a cahity?

The council is responsible for all the land under its control, for example if travellers moved onto a car park owned by a shop in the town the council would be responsible for moving them on and in cases like this one where no paper ownere exists the council sytematically take control, however have no rights of ownership.

And as for a ranting membver of the public claiming to be the owner they would not know who the key holder was and would contact the estate manager, whos details will be displayed on a sign on the gate.

WillowTheWhisp · 06-11-2007, 17:38

I'm sorry, but I still don't know what 'cahity' was meant to be even if it was a typo.
