Hi all

My name is John O'Reilly I am the founder of HLF, Herts rep. for GLASS
and a member of DORA.

I looking for ways of finding out if a person is a member of Gleam.
I have been fighting St.Albans City & District Council for the last 
couple of years after a By Way was suddenly gated and locked. No TRO or 
any other reason givern. A Councillor Mr John Henchley lives just round 
the corner and claims to be recponsable for the gates and states no-body 
is going to remove them.

St. Albans have in the past unlocked the gates due to pressure I and 
others have placed on them then they relock them again. A coup-le of 
years ago they attempted to apply for a TRO on the gounds of Gypsies, 
Flytippers and other "nefarious" uses. The application was dropped due 
to the high number of odjections.

Now after the latest bout of locked gates and forceable opening them 
with the use of highlift jack and hacksaw I have passed the matter to 
the Onbudsman's office.

St.Albans have now been asked by Councillor Henchley to attempt a TRO 
again. This time on the grounds of Gypsies, Flytipping (yes I and they 
know that they allready have powers in place to deal with these but that 
is not enough in thier oppion) and Danger but of what I don't know.

I have been told that Gleam has been mention by this councillor who 
himself is very anti what we do and has told me " why cann't you just go 
away and leave us in peace.

Any ideas of what else I can do at presant. I can't go to court at the 
moment as that would cause the Ondudsman to pull out.

If you wish ti write to St. Albans Council please address all post to 
Mr Hackford Chief Excutive, St.Albans City & District, District Council 
Offices, St.Peters Street, St.Albans, Herts, AL1 3JE. or Councillor J 
Henchley, 2 Barley Mow Lane, Tyttenhanger, St.Albans, Herts.

Any thoughts at all please let me know 
Cheers JohnO'Reilly

Subject: GLEAM....

I found this GLEAM application form in my filing cabinet (wonder how that 
got there ?;-) and have copied to the listing for the benefit of them 
what might not have seen it before....

BEGINS>>>>>

GLEAM, which stands for Green Lanes Environmental Action Movement, is an 
unincorporated
non-profit making country-wide Associaton which seeks to ensure that 
wherever necessary,
unsurfaced highways in the countryside carrying public rights of way 
(other than those already
classified as footpaths or brideways) are preserved from damage caused by 
motorised vehicles
of at kincts, in order to enhance opportunities for walkers, riders, 
horse-drawn carriages and
pedal cyclists to use and enjoy them without causing damage themselves.

To this end GLEAM will seek to achieve:

 1. Changes in existing legislation, such that Green Lanes, regardless of 
their present
classification,  do not carry permission for use by motorised vehicles 
(other fan for access)
UNLESS specifically permitted, in part or whole, by the responsible 
highway authority.

2. But pending the above, to urge the relevant Secretaries of State of 
the day:
(a) To simplify the process of making Traffic Regulation Orders
(b) To make available additional funds to local government highway 
authorities towards the
repair of already damaged Green Ianes.
(c) To urge local government highway authonties to use their existing 
powers more rapidly and
effectively, so as to preserve the rights of the majority of users of 
Green Lanes against the
depredations by a minority.

To further these aims, GLEAM will use the available means of publicity to 
inform members of the
public, members of local authorities and Members of Parliament of the 
present deficiencies in the
law with the object of enlisting their support.

In addition, GLEAM will develop an information base on Green Lane matters 
to which members
will have access for a small handling charge.

If you would like to join GLEAM, please use fee slip below to apply for 
membership.
