FLIPPIN HECK Surrey county council are taking the biscuit, that's every single lane I've driven bar 2 TRO'd

Won't be worth living soon the way these lot are going

Jeez! Surrey CC is really peeing me off with their TROs that claim '4x4 damage' when the evidence looks much more like natural rain water erosion. Take the TRO'd route that runs from Abinger up into Ranmore for example.

They seem to have forgotten how exceptionally wet it has been for the last 2 years.

I used to be all for seasonal restrained use of green lanes. Now a temporary TRO just appears to be a foot in the door to make the order permanent.

Let's see plenty of objections for this one please.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I hope to get my objection in on time .They cannot TRO for the reason of 'wear' as their DUTY under law is to maintain/repair the lane for ALL users ......but they will! because they rely on our ignorance/apathy & lack of financial wherewithall to counter their biased & arrogant proposals http://forums.lr4x4.com/public/style_extra/post_icons/icon7.gif

According to Surrey CC Website anyway - http://surreycc.gov....0of%20BOATs.pdf

Beggars Lane did have earlier on this year. I was out in the snow and came upon the TRO signs. It was a temp TRO for 6 months, but these have a nasty habit of becoming permanent. Not been up there for a while so I don't know the latest.

Beggars' TRO was extended from June for another six months. I go around the top and down London Lane into Shere instead

I don't think we'll be seeing Beggars Lane open again if I'm honest.
