Working without certificates etc

[Bren.]

This is absolutely genuine. I don't drink.

Sorry, but you can see where I was coming from.

If this is just something that you have no involvement with, but are aware of, I would suggest you contact HSE with your concerns. Also check out DEFRA's Magic Maps or the Forestry Commissions web site where you can check for current felling licences.

As I understand it, the timber is going for biomass.

 

The jury finds the defendant guilty your honour.

I'm genuinely interested - why are you so concerned with what someone else is doing? Is it impacting on you or, and I mean no offence, are you just being a busybody?

[Will Heal]

A person doesn't need to have a ticket to be a good operator and just because you have a ticket doesn't mean a person is a good operator and legally a contractor does not need PL insurance

[geoff]

If they are not treading on your toes, why bother?

I am in dispute with the owner over damaging the track with timber trucks etc. And put simply he does not want to repair it.

[Mountain man]

So does that mean you're looking to get back at him by reporting him?

No It means I have evidence of illegal practice should it go to court.

Quite frankly as a farmer with woodland I would tell you in no uncertain manner what you could do. Yes in the middle of summer I will have my Meindls on but in this weather it will be wellies and no I dont have any certs but still have all my limbs after 40 years of tree felling and hedge laying. Would be interested in finding out what laws I would be breaking using my chainsaw to lay the neighbors hedge.

Personally I don't care what somebody does. But if I allow you to use track which is only used for ,say road vehicles and is in good condition and you leave large potholes and destroy land drainage with your tractor and trailer and then refuse to make good I tend to look at my options. Unfortunately some people do not know how to behave in a decent manner any more.
