Green Lane Ban - Can anyone confirm this?

Ah, he's been talking the the bloke in the pub... :-)

Yes, both us and the TRF are still assessing the damage that will now be caused....

So are the lanes shut or not?!.

no. If it is implemented as it stands, BOATS (Byways Open to All Traffic) will retain vehicular rights. RUPPS will have vehicular rights suspended as they will become Restricted Byways. All that will; happen is that the 5% of the total rights of way network we can use will decrease to 2.5%. Problem is, with more use on fewer lanes, the risk of over use and hence TRO increases. One of the provisions of NERC allows councils to use pre-emptive TRO's before the lane is damaged. Oh goody....

You can still use all vehicular rights of way for vehicular use until the "window" closes, but the date of this is likely to be backdated, maybe to May2005.

It's not all doom and gloom, but its not good news either. GLASS needs your support, come along and join us! Actually, cant remember the last time I went laning.... Too busy going to shows, being on the Exec and The Bored of Directors.... ho hum

Cheers for the reply Simon!. I am a member of GLASS but what with work and other stuff, i aint been doing alot of laning lately. Hope to rectify this soon.
