Petition to save green lane use in Craven Area and N Yorks

We the undersigned are responsive to the concerns of the national park authority and some community groups and urge you to take a positive, proportionate and evidence based approach to the management of green lane use in Craven Area and the wider North Yorkshire. We are against the total exclusion of recreational motor vehicle traffic from the four routes that were subject to an experimental traffic regulation order* in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Through the representative motor vehicle organisations and other interested parties we are committed to working with the North Yorkshire County Council and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority on plans for management of trail routes and trail riding and driving activity on a lane by lane basis.

*Mastiles Lane, Kilnsey
