Use Of Unsurfaced Byways Open To All Traffic By Mechanically Propelled Vehicles (EDM380)

Use Of Unsurfaced Byways Open To All Traffic By Mechanically Propelled Vehicles

EDM number 380 in 2003-04, proposed by John Mann on 08/01/2004.

That this House welcomes the Government's proposal to close the legal loophole whereby historical evidence of use by horse and cart, or dedication as a carriageway prior to the invention of the internal combustion engine, can give rise to a claim for a byway open to all traffic which, if successful, allows for use by modern recreational motor vehicles of green lanes and other unsurfaced routes in the countryside; notes existing byways open to all traffic will still be subject to inappropriate and unsustainable use by recreational motor vehicles; is concerned that our most precious countryside in the national parks and areas of outstanding beauty and our national trails such as the Ridgeway continue to suffer appalling damage; and urges the Government to take action forthwith to protect these areas by reclassifying existing unsurfaced byways open to all traffic as restricted byways and issuing better guidance on enforcement to enable the relevant authorities to take swift and effective action where recreational vehicles are being driven illegally.

This motion has been signed by a total of 114 MPs.
