Peaks trying to close another lane

More weak and pathetic excuses from Peaks park. Please take 5 mins to make an objection or eventually there will be no lanes left

Consultation System - Peak District National Park Authority

Done

done.

Will have a look at home - more time Do the documents linked to in their page give reasons why they want to close it? rocksides? 6 foot deep ruts? nesting lesser natterjack newt? etc.

Done

get disabled access groups involved

Reasons are load of bollocks

Its basically bobble hat lot again theres no physical reason

1 example given if reasons

The presence of mechanically propelled vehicles using the route, effect and evidence
of their passing, and the works required to manage
that use have an impact on the
natural beauty in this area. This impact and the a
nticipation of the presence of
motorised users can detract from the experience and
enjoyment by other users. The
reference in section 5 of the National Parks and Ac
cess to the Countryside Act 1949
to the purpose of understanding and enjoyment of th
e special qualities of National
Parks suggests a focus on quiet outdoor countryside
recreation associated with the
wide open spaces, wildness and tranquility to be fo
und within the National Park.
(Defra 2007). The use of the route by mechanically
propelled vehicles detracts from
this focus.

I have expressed my displeasure basically stating how the PDNPA always seem to close byways but never have any problems with the amount of foot traffic causing erosion to footpaths etc.

Its also funny how byways seem to pass through areas of specific scientific interest etc but footpaths do not!

The PDNPA folds to the ramblers every time.

another reason is the park not wanting to spend money maintaining routes so its far easier and cheaper to TRO or close them. You need to remind them they have a legal obligation to do so.

Main points mentioned....Disabled access, assisting others in difficulty, groups benefiting local economy, closures putting more pressure on remaining lanes...other stuff anorl but I wrote an essay and can't remember half of it

Done - raised similar points to BGB and BB - PDNPA folds to able-bodied ramblers every time.

####s sake

Looking at my Derbyshire routes from a couple of years ago even, I have to cut out south now.

Might as well ditch leys lane whilst I'm at it

Done..... For what difference it will make

Just looking at the map again - why is the entire lane not part of the proposal; there's still a BOAT at either end which would be pretty pointless to navigate (drive up &....then reverse....) or is that the whole bloody idea?

the other lane they have slapped a P/TRO on (The roych) recently in the peaks is the same you can drive up part of it both ends but cant actually connect the dots. Prob so ramblers can park their cars at each end

That's exactly why they do it.

Because we won't bother to drive the other ends.

The PDNPA are so bloody corrupt it's un real!

we're onto a loser without a Prominent figure or organisation to support us. The ramblers age GLEAM, and there backed by MP's. MP's that will cut funding if things aren't done or who can at least make things difficult for them.
