Motorised Vehicles: a bigger threat than
wind turbines? |
A new threat to the Cambrian Mountains
has emerged in the shape of a possible huge increase in the number
of places in the Cambrian Mountains where motorised vehicles may be
legally permitted to drive. The Countryside Council for Wales
has asked the three County Councils to conduct a pilot project to
investigate "the sustainability of routes used by recreational
motorised vehicles in the Cambrian Mountains". The first stage was
for the councils to hold a series of forums - one in each county -
to explain the project to all those who might be interested.
Landowners, walkers, conservation bodies and of course users of
motorised vehicles were all present. The worrying part of the
meetings came when the users of motorised vehicles were invited to
mark on 1:25000 scale maps all
those places where they would like to be able to drive.
We were assured that consultants
who are to be employed to carry the project forward, will examine
the "sensitivity" of these proposals, and of course, not all of them
will be accepted. But for most of us,
everywhere
in the Cambrian Mountains is too sensitive for motorised vehicles.

Footpath Diversion |
The Restricted Byway passing
through the farm at Storehouse (SN 753724) has
recently been diverted following a public inquiry. For those
travelling west, the route no longer goes through the farmyard but
passes to the north of it before rejoining the county road. The RA
made no objection to this. |
