IMPORTANT!
Email your INDIVIDUAL objections to [email protected]

We need as many single objections as possible - this is a very emotive proposal - lots of discussion on the Trailbike mag forum here TBM Forum :: View topic - Chute Tro`s Now with pics and objection letter ideas. and was also subject to Charlie Thorns column in the November issue of Land Rover Monthly.

In effect it appears that the landownder has been promised the lane will be closed for him to enjoy it without being disturbed by legitimate users!

I have taken this from the Wiltshire.gov.uk website ( Consultation on proposed Prohibition of Driving, Various Byways, Ludgershall and Chute | Wiltshire Council ) . I would be inclined to send an email to [email protected] and also Cc [email protected]. You must use the reference: HKB/TRO/LUDG on all correspondence.

Jesus - more council bull****.
Sent mine..... has anyone read the "Reasons" ??

I qutoe:
RTRA 1984 Section 1 (1)
(a) For avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising;
(b) For preventing damage to the road or to any building on or near the road;
(d) For preventing the use of the road by vehicular traffic of a kind which, or its use by vehicular traffic in a manner which, is unsuitable having regard to the existing character of the road or adjoining property;
(e) (Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (d) above) for preserving the character of the road in a case where it is specially suitable for use by persons on horseback or on foot;
(f) For preserving or improving the amenities of the area through which the road runs;

Shall we call these "Excuses" instead ?

Just used the online form to place my objections.

I am totally against these proposals. Reasons:
If you wish to close them on the safety grounds in your reasons document then all tarmaced roads should be closed also.
All roads get damaged over time. It is the local authorities job to repair them. That is what you get paid to do.
If you do not wish in-appropriate traffic to use the road put up a sign saying unsuitable for road vehicles. Do not prohibit them.
It is a road, not a bridle way or footpath. If walkers and riders wish to use paths not frequented by vehicles then they have 95% of the "green lanes" to themselves already. To preserve the local amenities you need to have vehicular access. If these lanes are closed then they MUST be closed to all access including housing along them.
