Public have to many rights
Yep, like most things its the stupid 5% that are the problemFootpaths arnt the problem, it's 5% of the people that use them.
Apart from the fence cutters, the ones that make me wonder about the future of humanity are the picnic types. The ones that just get up and walk away leaving all their detritus behind.
I mean, they must have carried the stuff there and whats going on in their heads that makes it acceptable to just walk away from
Just lucky with stock they can be culled!
Yep that should be extended
after all, we all fence off other rights of way (roads)
Out council are not accepting applications to divert even if I had the money. Been like this for a long time now.I see no difference between a farmyard, and an industrial estate. Lottery money will be spent here trying to get my FP diverted round the back of the buildings. If that fails.....ugly fencing it is.
Folks are sh!t hot on elf and safety on this forum, yet FP's through farmyards don't register on the list.
Children generally used to be the product of the cleverest,strongest, healthiest most resourceful members of society, the welfare state has put an end to that.
Pretty sure when I looked into it, our council application asked you to tick a box to provide a reason. Security and health and safety didn't seem to be options from my memory.
If the footpath coincides with the farm road through the yard then why I should have to create another farm road and have to rejig the layout of the farmyard just to suit a handful of walkers per month? It’s no hardship, in fact is it’s more pleasant for the walkers to bypass the farmyard as most of them do. They are all fine with it, yet if it was put to consultation then you can be sure that some politico from miles away would object to a diversion just because they can. So we don’t give them the satisfaction and waste our own and taxpayers money.
The paths here were used by farm workers to get to work. Nobody walked through the farm just for the sake of it. Walking was a means to an end. Now it’s an activity for folk with nowt better to do.
My neighbour posted on Facebook that he discovered a campervan in his field on Saturday, bloke had the picnic table out, kettle on, and wearing flip flops. He was escorted " agriculturally " out of the field. Had to laugh, the bloke really picked the wrong farmer to try that out.Footpaths arnt the problem, it's 5% of the people that use them.
