Ask the owner/boss if you were to submit risk assessments and method statements for the work, would he let you continue. If he will, get back in touch with me, I will sort some out and you can supply me with some free crab. Its a long shot though.

[Cod,cod,cod!]

I would ask them if you can sign a decleration form basically saying that they weren't liable if you get hurt mate.

We tried a similar thing for access to Sunderland docks with the help of a local councillor,apparently by law,you cannot sign a disclaimer for a area as the owner is still liable for anyone with permission to be on his property,and health and safety will be use as the reason in 99% of the cases ....

no more crab



its all down health and safety they claim the jetties are dangerous and if we get injured they would be liable , i pleaded and was practically begging and even suggested signing some sort of a disclaimer to let us carry on crabbing but said they would still be liable if they cross rtheir land and got injured .

and if we ignored them they would bring ithe police and if climb over fence on a night they buiuld gate higher and make it even more difficult to climb over

as far I as am concerened if you where doing your tyres they could not stop you, they have no jurisdiction over the river bed, and if you have been crossing a certain piece of land for thirty years you could probably get it deemed as a right of way.

i think its gunna end up that way or jumpo fence at nite like
