Stinting Lane / Black Pad – Public Rights of Way Notice
An application has been submitted by the Trail Riders Fellowship which could see the Black Pad at the end of Stinting Lane, leading to Meadow Lane and Pleasley Woods, opened up to motor vehicles.
A Byway Open to All Traffic (BOAT) would legally allow cars, motorbikes, 4x4s and other motor vehicles to use the route.
If you would like to object or support the proposal, comments can be sent to:
Councillor Sarah Reaney: [email protected]
Councillor Andrew Stevens: [email protected]
We will ensure your comments reach the appropriate officers at Derbyshire County Council.
Please include your name and address so it is clear you reside in the affected area.
Both County Councillor Sarah Reaney and I have already submitted objections due to the impact on residents, safety concerns, and the effect on the character of the area.
Residents may also submit comments directly to Derbyshire County Council:
