floyd fan Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Last year LARA won a magnificent victory for trail riders and all other recreational vehicle users when they defeated the Yorkshire Dales National park Authority in the High court forcing the authority to remove TROs from four lanes. Read this, http://www.laragb.org/ Unfortunately due to YDNPAs failure to properly process outstanding byway claims for three of the routes only the fourth, Gorbeck Road remained legally safe to use. See it here, http://www.bdcc.co.uk/XMarksTheSpot....t=SD8545965832 Now, as widely expected, this most spiteful and vindictive of National park authorities has begun the process of trying to steal this magnificent green lane from us once again. They have now published a new consultation into another TRO on Gorbeck Road, doubtless in an attempt to finnish what they started last time. This authority have shown in the past that they have absolutely no respect for the rights of legitimate recreational vehicle users. They even boast that they consider such activities to be innapropriate in the national park so you can imagine what chance we stand of getting a fair hearing from them can't you! Still, there is something you can do. Take the time to read the files below. The report on Gorbeck Rd to the access committee of YDNP, http://www.newsdale.org/4x4/Gorbeck%...LAG%202009.pdf The report to the committee on management of five routes (inc Gorbeck), http://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/acc...greenlanes.pdf YDNPAs green lane mangement policy explained (note the following - Use of recreational motor vehicles is seen as an ?inappropriate? activity by the National Park Authority.), http://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/ind...ent/policy.htm Hopefully more information will follow shortly both on that site and here and when you have digested it all write/Email and object. Responses must be recieved by the 28th February 2010 so we have some time to organise our response but please do not leave it to someone else, watch this space for more info and then respond. Dont mention being a member of CRAG, GLASS or TRF as they will count all those objections as 1 objection. The authorities contact for more information and to recieve objections is, Mark Allum, Access Projects Manager Tel No 01756 751626 Email mark.allum@yorkshiredales.org.uk This is a battle we cannot afford to lose, national parks are a national issue. What happens here will set the scene for what happens accross the country and in other parks such as the Peaks! The antis believe that they are on a roll and that we are beat. Lets show them how wrong they are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
