Subject: Sarn Helen

Had a good little drive yesterday around the Brecon Beacons NP area.
Started at the Coelbren end of Sarn Helen. We had briefly stopped on the
main road at Coelbren and one of the local farmers pulled up in his red
Diahatsu. Seeing as he had a moan last time we saw him whilst checking
out another lane nearby we expected him to have a moan. He just wanted
to know if there was a hunt on. Its obvious that 2 of the vehicle were
"laners/triallers" ie cages etc..

We also saw the farmer on the last section of Sarn just before you drop
down the hill to the stream. He even did not seemed bothered and gave a
wave.The drop down to the Nature reserve is rough now due to a stream
running down it and causing gullies upto 18" deep in places and its
going to get worse with more rain. I took some photos and will scan them
in when they have been developed.

We joined the last bit before the mountain centre and the farm at the
road junction is up for sale. Again we saw the farmer by the gate and he
waved as we went by.

Next lane was the UCR at Trallong heading north. We got to the start and
the farmer was feeding the sheep so we had to wait for him. He then led
the way to the main fields and stopped to tell us to leave the gate open
for him. This was the second time I had driven this lane but some how we
took the wrong turn as its across open moorland. The farmer appeared on
his way back and after a quick chat he pointed us in the right
direction.

So 4 farmers in the NP and not one had a moan.....whats going on ???

Bye for now,

Gareth

I do not know about any Gloucestershire ones. I will re-post to RoW list. 
(I will get there as soon as I have someone to go with!)

Some kind soul has put some red arrows on many byways with VR (mainly UCRs)
in this area. (Peter Newman uses the plastic ones) others are painted on. 
If anyone saw one of those, even if there was a bridleway sign as well, 
they should feel much easier about using and removing a padlock if
necessary.  If there are no valid TRO signs,  and with a red arrow it must
be OK to use.

(As we know many counties like Hereford seem to think padlocks and byways
are synonymous)

As Bob Kinghorn said, RoW have a duty to sign. We (highways) do not. There
are lots of dual status roads in Powys.

Used Black Yatt yesterday. It is well waymarked with Red tape on gates
besides the yellow (CC?) tape.  Lasts well!

If a dual status road is reclassified to determine the minimum legal
evidence for the DM&S, unless it has been stopped up, those rights still
exist, in my view.  Any hardware deposited is an illegal obstruction IMV. 
Not sure what would happen if a stile on a County road, admitted vehicular,
 but shown as footpath is described on statement with stile? (Hypothetical
only, but Whitton or Lowes Hall might be examples)

Dear Ms. Rosenthal,

Re: Roman Road Proposed TRO.

On 23/10/98 I asked for your agreement to familiarise the Countryside
Commission with the problem of the large number of under-recorded byways in
Herefordshire. (Ex CRF’s and CRB’s).  As you did not suggest I did not
contact CoCo, I think this might be advantageous now.  I suspect you would
agree that Hereford may well be one of their Star ‘Under-performing Highway
Authorities’ described in CoCo’s ‘RoW in the 21st Century’ document.  As
there is such gross dereliction of minor highways, (gated, fenced,
ploughed, obstructed, out of repair, under recorded, under used, under
publicised, etc.) in the county,  with your cavalier approach to Roman
Road, and the ducking and diving over the Upper Lye obstruction, I am
cautious of any cut in funding sanctions from CoCo. Are any RoW posts, or
other projects currently being funded or partially funded by CoCo?

The map I have been sent by WCC shows a fairly wide section parallel with the
old Rly line, turning N and a bit W away from it around a wide sweeping RH
curve, (15 metres wide according to the scale of 1:3000 and 5mm wide) with
something (the bank?) then running along the E bank to a tributary junction.
The road follows (runs in) the river Alne for the whole of its NS section in
this area (40mm = 120 metres), then continues N and a bit E narrower, then
fairly wide, to Grey Mill Cottage which it passes to the W of. The fairly wide
sections scale at 2 - 3mm = 6 - 9 metres.
As the railway boundaries are shown as 5 - 6 mm apart (ie 15 - 18 metres wide)
this might help anyone wondering (like I do) if the scale is correct.

I can send a JPG of the map if anyone would like it. For personal research
only, of course, it would not do to send it with this...

I understand that the case was dropped for the reason that the person against

front line and will be victimised. I hope that the AWDC will display
solidarity in this case, and co-operate with the TRF in both their interests.
I understand that AWDC solicitors costs were paid by the LO, so perhaps some
of the funding AWDC set aside for this could be shared?

I have rung J O'R at home with no response, and left a message on the mobile

They could, but only if the TRO was for all traffic, including horses and

Gerry Pearlman of RA is no doubt considering that very carefully as he has
used it successfully on 2 or 3 occasions. It does not seem ideally suited
for RoW applications in general.

Westley was a result of deliberate cultivation in respect of a planning
consent. (From memory) It may still be possible that a locked gate etc
could be regarded as a statutory nuisance.  Might be worth asking the CC if
they regard it as statutory nuisance or otherwise, and how there would
prefer it actioned. Then they can not ask for costs. ?.

Subject: RE: Warks 116

Just now a boat would be essential to navigate this ucr.
As for application for BOAT status, my previous posting might be of use,
there may be TWO RoW crossing the river, not the one everyone is thinking,
the 'ucr' and another, much older and wider 'drove road' - the latter would
need to be investigated with great care.  If the LO to the north of the
river has 'lost' the line of the ucr in his garden, then I wander how he
would react to it being declared a BOAT, and the legal ramifications of him
finding that he has to remove a large lump of lawn, and borders because the
are obstructing said BOAT.  Today I'm surprised he didn't have a 'NO
MOORING' sign posted, but that's a different story.
BTW there was some tree surgery in progress nearby - the tree surgeons were
quite happy to see a walker on the FP they were working alongside.
My understanding is that a TRO can define how the TRO is enforced, thus
gates would be OK, provided they were supported by the appropriate signage.

Noticed this last weekend, on the middle of 5 gates. Tell him good man, well

There is no TRO on the Ridgeway. That was what the Public Inquiry was all
about, and that is what we achieved. No TRO, just sensible management.

Subject: restricted width BOAT

Yesterday (Sunday) three of us drove a BOAT north of Newbury. (SU476808 - SU 
484818). It was marked
BOAT on the OS, signed byway by the council. The width was dramatically reduced 
by trees which
looked as if they were planted deliberately. The surface is firm and dry and it 
looks as if it was
extensively used by motorbikes. At the northern end the width has been 
sufficiently obstructed that
we couldn't get through and had to divert off the proper route for about 
20metres right at the
northern end. Does anyone have any more details on this lane, i.e. what is the 
proper width? is it
feasible to open up the northern end? it is otherwise a very nice lane which is 
technically
interesting to drive, as well as being very dry and firm even after a lot of 
rain.

Mr C Slade
Senior Rights of Way Officer
Dorset County Council
County Hall
Colliton Park
Dorchester  DT1 1XJ

Dear Mr Slade

Thank you for your letter of 10 December 1998 regarding the gates erected
on Gussage All Saints 10 and 13.  With Christmas, the flu and other
seasonal interruptions behind me I can turn again to this matter.

You state that the gates were erected following s147 authorisation.  I do
not see how this can be as there are numerous ways in which animals could
enter or leave the two rights of way other than the gated points.  The lane
to the north of the gates is, from memory, open along the majority of the
western boundary; has a number of intersections along it's route that are
not gated and the northern entrance to the lane is free bar a pole gate.

The situation is similar to the south, with a considerable acreage of
woodland unfenced to the east; un-gated field entrances and a pole gate at
the southern exit onto a sealed highway.  These pole gates have been the
topic of past letters and are unquestionably illegal obstructions.

I would suggest that the landowner consider the option of securing the land
against the lane and not the lane against the legitimate user.  When
weighing this matter please consider the following from the Send case:

"The local authority must at all times act with the object of protecting
the highway and of preventing or removing any obstruction, and more broadly
speaking, of promoting the interests of those who enjoy the highway or
should be enjoying the right of way and the county council must likewise
operate against the interests of those who seek to interrupt such enjoyment
of the highway."
Lane LJ in R-v-Surrey CC ex parte Send Parish Council

Unless you can supply good reason why these gates might still fall under
s147 I expect to find them gone when next I am in the area.

Yours sincerely

Isn't this illegal?  If you use the form of words in the regs then they can't 
say they haven't been made in the prescribed form.  I would note here that the 
1993 regs changed the forms very slightly from those in the blue book, but I 
would have thought that a court or the secretary of state would disregard the 
differences as they are so minor.
After a year of having made the application and certifying that you've notified 
landowners and occupiers, you can complain to the Sec of State that they 
haven't made a decision.  I think they'll look really stupid if they try to say 
they didn't do it because of two words difference between the form used and the 
one in regs.

Westley v Herts CC: There's a not very complete write up in The Times which I 
found last week when doing a search, and a longer one (which could have been 
better I'm sure) in B&B.

As Mr C Tarrant would say "Are you sure, really sure, you don't want to
change your mind?"

TRO proposed includes cycles but excludes horse, ie all vehicles. So
leaving a 5 ft gap with a locked 10' gate isn't permissable?  Still they
don't take any notice of rules.  The just expect peasants like us to obey
rules.

Anything worth quoting to them now to increase their misery?  They are
awaiting Police's view on a TRO which might be helpful to us. Especially if
they can not (legally) enforce it physically.
