Please also note that the operators of this site are in no way connected with the Hedgeline organisation. We are however, following progress of the new legislation and hope to be able to report successes and failures of the system, as new caselaw is made. Our concern is that with Council's in the loop, favours and the like will be introduced in the equation as with the planning system.
Please note that if you are no longer useful to the organisers of Hedgeline, they may advertise your details in such fashion as to seek to embarrass you, or accuse you of imitating them, when in fact you may simply be reporting the facts to a wider audience. In this event you are likely to receive numerous unsigned emails from person claiming to represent the Hedgline organisation, but refusing to identify the sender. As Hedgeline is neither a company, charity or other bona fide organisation with a written constitution, it will be difficult for you to seek legal redress under the law.
You may of course lobby your MP independently, as some of our group have chosen to do.
