  "WHPS and others currently arnt sharing what they are doing so other than sorting out meetings of my own back, currently there is no collaborative working and those that live on the heights appear to be excluded."
  
  Sorry you feel like that Lara. WHPS is a small charitable group with limited funds and limited opportunities to think further than the short term (6/8 months) as we don't have the capacity or money to get much further than this, but more importantly when you are dealing with 'other people assets' you have to work at their speed.
  
  It has taken quite a long time to be able to get to a position to open the Grand Shaft for a dozen or so days this year from DDC, and for English Heritage it has taken a long time for us to prove the resposibility for the Drop Redoubt to a level that we are able to submit Scheduled Monument Consent works to them which we have done for the last year or so. Other than get volunteers to help at workdays and to man the heritage for events and walks, it is very limited to the to the amound of public engagement that can be done. Nothing is stopping anyone from coming up and helping us and we have a couple of Heights residents that do this regularly.
  
  As mentioned for the first time in our existance we are being approached by EH for a longer term management agreement, along with the CGI plans, which have suddenly thrown us to another level....
