Platinum Member Marcus Durand Posted February 12, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 12, 2022 We run the risk again of losing the use of green lanes. Please have your say. https://consult.defra.gov.uk/future-landscapes-strategy/government-response-to-the-landscapes-review/?fbclid=IwAR2-fmCkjdShE-AhCk3x2pf2aSBt-tInhY-htq5UGsMn9Os1WKzEe4lrIwM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member digger Posted February 13, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 13, 2022 Problem is that the well meaning people who draw up these things have a narrow vision gleaned from a small percentage of the community as a whole . Unfortunately that small percentage make very loud noises! What a ridiculous amount of blurb for what in ,my opinion ,could be simple to solve!

Platinum Member V Posted February 13, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 13, 2022 The government is clearly persecuting a minority group that only has access to 1.97% of the rights of way network. I wish they would concentrate on looking after the other 98% of the RoW network to the standard required by law before wasting money trying to eliminate us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member digger Posted April 3, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted April 3, 2022 Have you protested yet? Even if you can't face the whole questionnaire you can go to the end and summarise your view! I have done everything I can to circulate to other country users, organisations , rescuers ,friends etc to chivy up support to fight this! I am only an occasional 'green laner', you may not be at all but even if that is the case please protest. If this goes through at the behest of a small number who wish to keep the countryside to themselves, then all kinds of country lovers, hobbyists,sports people will be detrimentally affected. Whether now or in the future that could be you or your family! If living in a free country is important to you, protest now , there are only a few days left! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald F Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 In my response, I have stressed equity of access, especially for the disabled or moderately infirm, which I believe is not only truly relevant, but also 'right on' as a message in these times. Green lanes give access to more remote countryside, as well as providing recreational opportunities of themselves. Damage and erosion occur quite rapidly on 'walking only' paths, and more so where mountain bikes are frequently used. A carefully driven 4x4 with traction control shouldn't tear up the surface anyway! Retaining vehicle access makes maintenance and repair much easier too, as others have pointed out. The maintenance is needed even if no vehicles are allowed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
