If you can drum up enough forum investors, I'll volunteer to run it!

How big a share of it do I get for half a packet of hob nobs? (chocolate ones!)

On reflection probably not a good idea for a number of reasons.

As posted in the other thread, I'd have a bash.

Who ever does eventually buy it will no doubt transform the place. A couple of new bus shelters or a new harbour launch in return for dredging the bed and putting in some piles...

You may need to do the dredging on a very dark night & without prior notification. Those worms have powerful friends in high places . . .

Much cheaper & easier to deal with consequences that to gain permission beforehand. It's the way most developers sem to operate nowadays - if you can cope with the sleepless nights when the eco-warriors put your home under seige.

As posted in the other forum;

Yes, we would be interested, at least to take it one step further.
Perhaps there should be a requirement for interested parties to stump up a 'good faith' fee to stay in the loop - it could be quite small (say £1,000) at first and ramp up as / if matters progressed.

(could you please choose one forum before my old typewrite runs out of ink ).

Are the worms specific to that little bit of Warsash or the same as the worms on the rest of the Hamble?

In light of the worms possibly a better use for the site would be to drag old boats up on a high tide then break them for scrap. I have several good contacts in that field.

Alternatively if you wanted to take another look at the worm "issue" we do have plans for some berths, a public cafe and tourist information point. We could even throw in a couple of key worker low rent housing units.

Some people !

"small" and "£1000" in the same sentence

Do these worms make suitable feed for seahorses? If so ship them 'round to Studland...
Otherwise, as part of the dredging/piling/whatever deal appease the eco lot by offerening to grow eel grass..
