"CONSULTATION: PROHIBITION OF MOTORISED VEHICLES
? U2424 FOREST ROAD, U2422 COWGATE RIGG & U8122 THORNE HOWE, -
HARWOOD DALE
? U618 DARNCOMBE - KEEPERS COTTAGE, DARNHOLME-CUM-LANGDALE END AND

TROUTSDALE

? U569 GREAT MOOR LANE, HUTTON BUSCEL
Further to the consultation exercise recently undertaken on the above routes, I am writing to inform you of the current situation and the proposed action to be taken.
The consultation received a large number of responses and was clearly going to require significant resources to pursue the necessary negotiations and reports required to complete the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) process. The Area Highways Office at Whitby cannot at this time give the matter sufficiently high priority in order to be able to allocate sufficient resources to this issue. It has therefore been decided that this consultation exercise will not be pursued further.
Since the commencement of this consultation exercise, the County Council has produced a draft policy document for the Management and Maintenance of Unsurfaced Unclassified Roads (UURs). This was presented to the County Councils Environment and Heritage Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 21 October 2009 and will shortly be released as part of a public consultation exercise prior to adoption by the County Council. The policy sets out a strategy for identifying, assessing and managing all UURs. The above routes will therefore now be considered as part of this process which is being managed by the Highways Asset Management group based at County Hall, Northallerton.
I trust this clarifies the situation and would like to thank you for your response to the consultation."

So it seems that no matter what the TRO, if enough people write or email with a reasonable argument against a TRO then hopefully the councils might just take the same view .. that enough people don't want a lane (or lanes) TRO'd and that they should be brought under their "Management and Maintenance of Unsurfaced Unclassified Roads" policy.
So if you know of any current TRO's being planned send an objection in to the council and post on here where others can also send objections in. Doesn't matter if you live near or far, just that you send an objection in!
Just a little bit of effort from everyone might just allow us to keep what little we have ...
