Who did you receive the application from?

Re: Re-generation
 

A resident of rising bridge, and for obvious reasons i am not going to reveal there name or details.

Re: Re-generation
 

So basically if one resident in an area writes to you about a piece of land with unwanted activity on it you will do something about it ?

Re: Re-generation
 

I wonder where this resident of Rising Bridge found about you ? No-one else seems to have heard of you, including King-Wilkinson's tenants in Slaidburn.

Re: Re-generation
 

No the area in question has a lot of history and importance in the community, however has fell into disrepair and become a hotspot for drug user etc

Re: Re-generation
 

Says who ? One resident of Rising Bridge ?

Re: Re-generation
 

No, lancashire county councils Mario Maps software indicates the sites history and so do records held by Ordnance survey

Re: Re-generation
 

He asked for litter pickers and people to talk to walkers through the land they already own, so theres no reason to tie the volunteers up into the land they are trying to obtain.

My interest was the fact that there was something to do in the countryside, and he referred to Lancaster, which is where I am most of the time, and it was something to do. I didn't even see they were Chelmswood estate til AFTER i agreed to do it, and I'm still not even bothered.

I get the feeling that you are attacking everything he is saying without actually knowing whether it is or isnt a truthful proposition, and I think until you know, you should just leave him alone.

And you certainly shouldnt be starting on me just because I said I'd like to volunteer. I will give him the benefit of the doubt until I have found out whether its a real oppurtunity or just a waste of time, and I am trying to find out, but I am no closer to having proof than the rest of you, so give it a rest.

Re: Re-generation
 

Could you please point out where I have attacked everything he has said in my one post on the thread!!!!

Re: Re-generation
 

I still don't get this - it's already common land, there are footpaths on it and people can walk across it however they see fit. From what I understand this organisation is planning to block it off so that they can hold onto it for twelve months and then turn it into common land.

I just don't understand what the plan is, how it actually benefits anyone and why they are doing this?
