Remove public rights of way from family homes.
Intrusive Footpaths is a campaign group fighting for the rights of people who have public footpaths running intrusively through their properties.
2 stories which should be considered Intrusive.The 1st one is a Footpath which goes through 2 doors! The 2nd public Inquiry will be held next year, at present the residents have keys for the doors which are kept locked. You can find the newspaper article here.
The 2nd one is that, cyclists are now trying to legalise cycling on footpaths, This is against the law at present, however very few cyclist adhere to this law, Cyclists have miles and miles of cycle lanes financed by the Councils but, as they say, they do not legally have to use them and so many choose to continue to cycle on the roads alongside the cycle lanes.
They say "We can use only 21 percent of Wales' rights of way and 22 percent of England's and frankly, thay's not enough. But we won't get any more trails unless we make our voices heard. That's where OPENMTB and CYCLING UK come in." Together they’ve launched the first national survey of off-road cycling activity in England and Wales. The survey will allow them to “establish an accurate picture of riding behaviour – and how it fits with the present access arrangements in England and Wales.” This information will then be used to help further efforts to open up rights of way. In short, this is the time to tell everyone you do actually ride some cheeky footpaths and maybe it would be better if they were just made legal. The problem is, it closes on Monday so you need to get your responses in ASAP. Share it around too, the more people who fill it in the better. If you need any more incentive one respondent will win an iPad too. Read more here. |
