  8. i HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS I was offered a deal £1 per year for me to pay the peppercorn rent. The contracts came back (dropped a lot of trees for the amount of paper) same no lone working Sorry! HAD TO RING MY CONTACT EVERY TWENTY MINS?? Cold not make them understand that if I was renting the woodland the care of duty is down to me and not them. By the way this woodland was not theirs but a community woodland given to the local council by the outcrop company. I think that the boys and girls at FC are protecting their jobs never worked in the situations that we find our selves in. This government has said that if any organisation gives out the wrong health and safety rules we the public can have readdress. You will also find that the FC's health and safety is at least 40-50 year old and is solely for extraction.
