Just something some of you may be interested in. Our loss of byways for trail riding.
(Restricted Byways do not allow vehicles. RUPPS are Roads used as Public Paths. Boats are Byways Open to All Traffic).
Since a daft law called the NERC act was passed, we are down to having only 2% of the available Rights of Way network in the country.
Change Underused Restricted Byways back to RUPPS - e-petitions
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/6975
Many RUPPs were closed and converted to Restricted Byways. However, these restricted byways are underused by users other than motor vehicle users and so are falling into disrepair. Therefore, I believe that all restricted byways should be reverted back to RUPPs or BOATS.
