local business in longmoor road - oakie (17th Dec 2009 - 19:03:07) Is it just my findings and information from relevent authorities, but i seem to find myself asking how two local business's are still trading even though they have no permits and have stop notices served upon them, can any member of the local community shed some light on this.

Re: local business in longmoor road - Paul Robinson (17th Dec 2009 - 21:57:50) As someone who operates a business in the Longmoor Road I am interested to know who these companies are. Paul Robinson

Re: local business in longmoor road - Chris (18th Dec 2009 - 09:18:46) These aren't the only odd "business" opportunties that have sprung up over the years in the Liphook area. There is the ever present haulage company in Bramshot that somehow by hook or by crook (the latter probably) managed to establish itself in a highly residential area with its huge chuffing great lorries trundling precariously along the local lanes and the Headley road causing the houses to shake in their wake. How did it ever get planning permission to set up an operation of that nature in that area?!? Suggest that you contact HCC direct and ask them to explain the absurd rules (the word is used loosely) that they apply when granting permission to these so-called businesses.

Re: local business in longmoor road - Darren Ellis (18th Dec 2009 - 12:56:28) A note to "Chris"..... as always no full name so don't know who you are? I have no contact with A M Knight Transport, who I think you are referring to in your above comment. I believe they are a well run buisness who have been in operation at thier present site for very many years, at least 30 although don't quote be on it, and it does seem a shame that they are always single out as the bad boys in threads on this site. The transport industry is highly regulated and it is difficult to set up, and sustaine, an efficient small scale operation. If you truly feel they a causing you and Liphook a dis-service then why not approach them and discuss it openly, If not then let them get on with running thier business, employing local people, in the safe and legal way they are.

Re: local business in longmoor road - Chris (18th Dec 2009 - 15:34:10) I am sure that they and their Dutch registered vehicles do offer our community a fantastic localised service delivering much needed heavy industrial and road construction goods. Not so sure if having 18 tonners ploughing along the Headley road is all that helpful though. Liphook resident 33 years Born in Preston, near Brighton

Re: local business in longmoor road - Steve Read (18th Dec 2009 - 17:17:00) Chuffing Chris, Maybe you would like to pop up and have a word with Mr.Knight and ask him if he got his permission by "crook" that would bring amusement to those of us nearby in the "highly residential area" I hear that they serve a good Xmas Dinner up at the Royal Surrey, and in addition to Mr.Ellis I know they have been there at least 40 years. But I suspect not, you sit at home playing on your keyboard slandering local business's and cant even put your name to your post. Try chuffing off back to Brighton if it upsets you that much, or at the very least get your facts right in the first place Steve Read Liphook Resident 51 years

Re: local business in longmoor road - Chris (19th Dec 2009 - 07:45:34) Mr Read - computerised bunker maestro. Personnally recommend the Royal Surrey can you after trying to publically derail half the taxi businesses in the area? I am sure that Mr Knight is not a man of violence as you infer. But if he is then I publically withdraw my comments as I value my lonely existence too much.

Re: local business in longmoor road - dave mcgrath (19th Dec 2009 - 11:49:15) newcomer chris (who hasn't got the ba---s to give his full name, for your information knights started off well over 40 years ago in the livestock haulage game carting cattle etc to guildford market for the local farmers, as did other local haulage contractors ie keens (Witley) also Harmans from haslemere (who were also the local butchers (bells) THIS was long before half the houses at Burgh HILL (to give it its correct name) were even built.How do i know this? because when i was 10 years old and younger i used to ride up to the market (with alans grandad driving ) in their lorries. He bought the business off of Percy Read who operated out of the nursery at cold ash hill (i don't expect you will know where that is) so it is a long established business with deep roots.Lay off them and learn a bit about local history before you start judging people. Long may they continue to flourish! Resident 53 years. (hello Steve)

Re: local business in longmoor road - Chris (19th Dec 2009 - 15:47:50) I do humbly and unreservedly apologise to you all. Knight's reputation as a good local business operation cannot be questioned (no I am not speaking from the emergency ward although it would probably do me good sometimes). (As for HCC - I sometimes have to reserve judgement). It is unlikely that I will ever be able to make up for the serious shortfall of any decent spirit in my own ranting here so will withdraw from posting anything else on this site in future. This is a genuine apology born of true regret.

Re: local business in longmoor road - D Bell (19th Dec 2009 - 16:30:05) Oakie, I agree with what you are saying. One company that you have mentioned teale waste has had quite a bit of cover in recent issues of the herald Bordon and liphook, with linford parish council objecting to their relocation to that area, i am pleased that there councillors are taking the matter seriously with the negative effect it will have on the surrounding area. So why is it that this company can run illegally alongside a scrap car buisness from a residential dwelling here in Liphook and no one bats an eye lid? The address from where these activities take place are of no secret as there company advertises on a weekly basis in the messenger. In fact it is happening right under the nose of one of our parish councillors, or maybe he just has visual imparement each time he passes!. Maybe it's that little thing called the old pall's act! as i under stand this councillor is 'friends' with the buisness owners, as a few months ago he was in the herald supporting the buisness's. If you need more proof of these matters of non- licence, please feel free to contact H.C.C yourselves.

Re: local business in longmoor road - Dawn Hoskins (21st Dec 2009 - 12:32:26) I’m a bit confused about this thread? Firstly ‘Oakie’ informs us that AWB scrap and Teal Waste have had stop notices served upon them are still trading despite being prohibited from doing so. Then Chris agrees with Oakie and questions how permissions are granted in locations which are questionable. If you have ever approached that blind corner on the way into the village only to find a blinking great HGV taking up the entire road in order to gain entry to the narrow lane it has to negotiate, you cannot surely come to any other conclusion – the narrowness of the road, the position of the road right on the corner etc etc – it is an unsuitable location for a haulage company. Indisputable. I understand that they have been here for many years, and I loved reading about the history of the area as that sort of information is always fascinating, but that doesn’t take away from the facts. I really do not understand why a new contributor to the site should receive such an aggressive response for stating his opinion. It does not matter if you have been here for 5 years or for 50 years – home is home – and why should opinions be any less valid simply due to length of stay? Lets get back on track – who knows what is happening with AWB Scrap and Teal Waste? Are they really illegal businesses? Note to editor: clearly allowing ‘some’ contributors to post using pseudonyms or only Christian name causes very bad feeling. I have expressed my opinion about it before, I would like to go back to the ‘old days’ when everyone had crazy names, but if you make a rule – it does need to apply to everyone equally.

Re: local business in longmoor road - Dave symonds (30th Apr 2010 - 06:16:13) cant really say teale waste have ever run me off the road or even caused me grief at a junction. but im not being biased either, even tho im on the road a lot around the area, and so imo road width is irrelevant considering ive never experienced the vehicles in question breaking the law of the road. jee whiz, give an audi or bmw driving mother in the area 2 lanes and they will still find there way onto the wrong side of the road! heavy duty or commercial vehicles will always be a way of life on any road, and as a business owner below residential properties i know only too well of the expectations of residents (and grief they cause) who move into a commercial area that offers residential housing. Also, to all who who mention teale, and awb, who were honestly operating/living there first??? you or teale/awb??? just my 2 pennys...

Re: local business in longmoor road - barbara (1st May 2010 - 13:35:48) I do not think that Longmoor Road can be classed as a commercial area, probably houses and farms were in the area long before waste operatives.I have always found Mr Swallow an enforcement officer at EHDC very helpful, and I am suprised that if stop notices have been issued by EHDC that there has been no follow up.
