We went down to Salisbury plains on Saturday for a drive around to find the flags were up, but we soon found some alternative lanes wich turned out to be quite good.
We spent most of the day there and only seen two other vehicles both really nice pinzgauers.
If you are going that way you might be interested in the following.

SECTION 1 OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984
PERMANENT TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER TO CLOSE TO ALL MOTORISED VEHICLES BYWAY 30, LUDGERSHALL AND BYWAYS 32, 34 AND 36, CHUTE
I write to advise you that the officer’s report to Councillor. Mr. Dick Tonge, Wiltshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, regarding the above proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), is now being prepared following responses received during the preliminary and formal consultation and evidence gathered, including photographic evidence.
The report being drafted advises Mr. Tonge to approve the officer’s recommendations that a permanent, all-year-round TRO be placed on Byways Open to All Traffic Ludgershall 30 and Chute 32 (Honey Bottom) and that an non-statutory public inquiry should be held to seek the opinion of an independent inspector on whether a similar TRO should be placed on the Chantry Lane section, Byways Open to All Traffic Chute 34 (Chantry Lane) and Chute 36. The reasons for these recommendations are as follows.
The benefit to the local community for a TRO on the Honey Bottom byways has been positively established. Honey Bottom is a grass surfaced byway and is considered by the officers to be especially suitable for use on foot or on horseback. Photographic evidence shows that these byways are susceptible to damage by motor vehicles. The proposed TRO will also ensure that walkers, horse-riders and cyclists from Lower Chute will be able to access Collingbourne Woods without the concern of encountering motorised traffic on the Honey Bottom byway.
With regard to the Chantry Lane byway and Chute byway 36, damage to the surface of these byways cannot be attributed solely to use by motorised vehicular traffic. Inspection by the officers of Wiltshire Council’s Rights of Way Service on Wednesday 27th January 2010 showed that significant weather damage and water erosion had taken place over the winter while the byways have been closed to use by the public with motor vehicles. Additionally, the safety concerns of the community are based on anecdotal eye witness accounts of use by motor-vehicles prior to the closure of the route to such vehicles by temporary TRO’s, and are not substantiated by arrests and convictions of offenders. As there is no specific statistical evidence of illegal use and confrontation, the holding of a public inquiry would offer an opportunity to debate the issue of safety and obtain the view of an independent Inspector before Mr. Tonge is asked to make his decision.
The officers will include the comments you have already made in the report to Mr Tonge, but if you have anything you wish to add before the report is finalised please write to me directly at the address below, by no later than Wednesday 31st March 2010:
Mrs Ali Stewart
Rights of Way
County Hall
Bythesea Road

It will not be possible for comments received after Wednesday 31st March 2010 to be included in the report.
Yours sincerely Ali Stewart Rights of Way Officer _________________ 1991 80 series LSD VX 4.2TD Auto 150mm lift rancho ajustable shocks 37 wangler mt turbo timer

As usual, so called 'do gooders' trying to close 'our' (everyones) greenlanes. They can't seem to distinguish between tyre tracks, horse shoe tracks and water erosion!!!! Ultimately resulting in nowhere to play!!!. |
