[IBC] slabs/collecting in the UK
Hi,
As a recent immigrant to the UK (from Toronto) I've been wondering what the rules and regulations are for collecting material in the UK (aside from the ones mentioned). Is there a gov. dept. that deals with this sort of thing? Best wishes, James Oxford, UK kevin bailey wrote: Thought I recognised that as I was reading :-) This last paragraph 'The new trespass laws, included in the Criminal Justice Act, allow prosecution for trespass. Permission must be obtained, if you move off public rights of way, to wander on private land anywhere in the UK.' is probably overdue for revision. The problem is that I am still not certain what the new 'right to roam' act really means. Must start looking! Yes we are a small island but there are still plenty of places that feel really wild. In reality though, hardly any of it is unchanged by mans influence. Virtually none of our original climax vegetation survives.

[IBC] slabs/collecting in the UK
Why not buy them from a quarrying company?
The more I think about the morality of 'collecting', the more inclined I am to call it 'stealing'.

My slant is why buy from a quarry that charges you for what they have
'stolen' under license? I'd rather gather responsibly and with permission than add to their profits. More often than not, the material that we desire can be gathered from the waste that industrial processes such as slate mining have left as industrial eyesores.

You have a point certainly Kev and if you mean the spoil heaps of
modern industrial mining processes from active mines then I can wholeheartedly agree with you. This would clearly be preferable to wandering the country picking up stones on an ad hoc basis or combing the spoil heaps of ancient and pre and early industrial revolution mines and quarries which are well naturalised and indeed are often contained within the boundaries of our national parks and other protected sites. Perhaps reclaimed or recycled stone from old buildings might be another less ethically dubious source. All in all, a very troubling topic morally speaking. Were you up early, or going to bed late, Kev? Richard On Mon, 28 Jun 2004 00:03:38 +0100, you wrote: My slant is why buy from a quarry that charges you for what they have 'stolen' under license?
