Agenda item

Sue Smith gave a verbal update to Members.

·         Members of the LAF and the Stanage Forum had recently visited Long Causeway to consider its potential as a Miles without Stiles route, which will be the first on a National Park Estate.  The Peak Park Conservation Volunteers have been clearing out the gullies which had silted up to assist, with the maintenance of the route.  The barrier is also proposed to be replaced with something more aesthetically pleasing.

·         The “Stay on Tracks” campaign, was discussed at the Green Lanes Sub Group Meeting to identify routes and appropriate management to safeguard the verges.

·         Peak District Proud – will be used to get the message across on social media. 

·         A voluntary restraint for 4 x 4 vehicles is in place at Minninglow and Galloway Lanes following the repairs by Derbyshire County Council..

·         Derbyshire Police have been taking a lot of action on illegal use. Sue will include more information on the website on how the public can record incidents that the Police can act on, even if there are no registration details taken, it is still useful to log where illegal use is taking place.

·         A report on green lanes will be going to the May Programmes and Resources Committee.

The Chair thanked Sue for her update.

Agreed:
