Re: Hambledon Hill and Quarry
If a charitable trust is prepared to go to the trouble to claim and improve this land - why can't our own council do just that?
The way I read the wikepedia link, it involves securing the site and visiting it to check it is secure - then eventually claiming 'squatter's rights' - not beyond the capabilities of our council, or is it?

Re: Hambledon Hill and Quarry
No the council could just do the same and i agree that they should, however usually means too much hassle for them and there is a fair bit of paperwork towards the end of the Claim process which i dont believe is beyond them.

Again, what is the name of the charity you're registered under?

Our MP and several councillors visit this forum - perhaps by posting here you will have done yourself out of the project

PS local press look for their scoops here too

Re: Hambledon Hill and Quarry
Wot a load of bollocks !

Claim squatters rights then go ahead and work on the quarry we are not

Hambledon hill / kings highway is used my farms and buisness e.g miry lane farm, United utillites (not michells house).

How clever you are to try and outsmart use into getting a quarry.

Out of intrested is there still stone etc in there that can be worked ?.

It has just been blocked off im sure of it i passed it last week .

Re: Hambledon Hill and Quarry
Surely a quarry must have been owned by somebody at sometime?
