Re-generation

I no there isnt but it forms part of the KingWilkinson family estate which is spread throughout Lancashire and Yorkshire. The estate was formed in 2001 by the family to give something back to the community.

Our first port of call was Hyndburn council however we are just seeing what the public think about our plans, if there are any objections and if people agree with us and are willing to support us.

And this is my first project of its kind, i am a trainee estate Warden and was asked by the Estate manager to do this. Not my idea !!!

With a circulation of 15,011 and a readership of 32,665 it might be a better idea to contact the Accrington Observer, if you want public feedback to your proposal.

You would need to supply them with more information than you've given to us, such as the name of the charitable trust etc.

It may be totally legitimate, but something smells decidedly fishy.

Why would your first port of call not be Hyndburn Borough Council?

Why are there no details of the trust, if it's charitable?

How did you get the job as the mouthpiece for them when you can't spell?

For all we know you maybe a member of the travelling community, just about to grab the land for a cravan park.

Ok, I can't spell caravan either, but then I'm not employed by a charitable trust.

Just thought I'd point it out before anyone else did.:D
 
There have been a few misunderstanding on our par with regard to the actual site, in fact the quarry is not Huncoat quarry which is still in use but is Hambledon quarry to the rear of Hambledon common and Hambledon scouts which according to ordnance survey is disused. The quarry is accesible via farm track only which is accessed from the bypasss, Haslingden bound before the united utilities access road to Mitchells house.

I apolagise for these errors.
 
Re: Volunteer Rangers

Why have the people of Slaidburn never heard of Chelmswood ? They've all heard of King-Wilkinson.

I have a question actually about this as I agreed to help, but I've found much on the King-Wilkinsons but not the Chelmswood estate, and I was confused at first when you referred to Chelmswood, as I thought it may have had a link with the life peer Lord Chelmswood.

However, I do believe that they are quite genuine and with good intention, but there definatly needs to be more information put on the internet so people can check you out, because currently there is a great lack of information and no reference to the Chelmswood estate, only Lord Chelmswood but his estate isn't named Chelmswood.
 
Chelmswood has TWO threads ongoing for the same topic --- just as he did a few weeks ago--- blurring the debate?
 
I am just confused because I found a guide that refers to it as Hameldon, not Hambledon...

Obviously this makes a huge difference if I am volunteering as I need to know what hill I am actually looking into!
 
Quote Chelmswood -"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."

Quote Chelmswood - "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"

They could change their mind about 'donation'

The estate Trust could not change there mind about donating, the land always truly belongs to the people it is simply the estate in charge of the upkeep and maintainence.
 
I'm sure it's all just misunderstandings here. I have already volunteered and I am certain it is all legitimate, and if not I can always pull out, so I will wait and see what happens.

As long as I dont get tied up into anything illegal then I am happy to help.
