Surrey TRF petition - Please sign - trail riding

Hey guys.

PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION:
http://petitions.surreycc.gov.uk/Rights-Of-Way/

Surrey TRF have just launched a petition, to call upon Surrey County Council to improve the objectivity, impartiality and integrity of decision making on Rights of Way issues in Surrey.

This follows the recent and ongoing attempts by Councillors on the Guildford Local Committee, to make Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) on Byways Open to All Traffic in Surrey, to prohibit law abiding motorists from using two particular rights of way in Surrey. This is despite the Council Officials writing detailed reports, concluding TROs were not appropriate - on three occasions; and despite over 1000 letters of objection. The fact that local Parish Councillors lived on or near the roads in question did not have to be declared; Councillors were free to peddle prejudice and were certiainly not impartial nor based decisions on evidence. Whilst we’re not there yet, but with a lot of effort, we’re on the way to winning the battle over the TROs and ensuring the rule of law prevails.

Over the longer term TRF want to clean up the process so it is open, transparent, based on evidence and ensure that decisions are made by Councillors who are impartial and don’t have vested undeclared interests.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!

Kent are having problems at the moment. They are trying to shut down a few lanes around North Kent

Done.

Signed

I spent 5 years fighting KCC at fortnightly meetings over lane closures, when it was the footpath department that looked after them it was OK even took a few of them out green laning in the landie so they could see what it was all about.

Unfortunatly now it’s the Environment dept that have control it’s all gone to shit and unfortunatly it’s always bikes that are cited as the reaseon.

That’s not saying that there are some ahole 4x4 drivers out there but on the whole they are happy to follow the GLASS recomendations:

Stick to the lane
No more that 4 vehicles in a convoy
No higher than 10 mph etc.

Done.
