CAN ALL MY 4X4 FRIENDS SHARE THIS POST TO ANY 4X4 GROUP THEY ARE A MEMBER OF, AND I AM NOT, PLEASE!
Greetings from Hampshire's GLASS rep!
I was contacted today by a member of Hampshire's Land Access Forum, they have been informed by Hampshire County Council of an issue with Snailing Lane, Hawkley BOAT 25.
It’s been TRO’d since May this year and HCC are getting quotes for the repairs, but they’re having problems with 4x4s getting onto the lane and compounding the damage, making the quotes to repair more expensive each time. I have been told they have had to replace the gates three times now!
If this continues the council are likely to abandon any plans to repair the lane and close it permanently instead, replacing the gates with something more solid that can't be bypassed.
Damaging the gates amounts to at least vandalism and possibly criminal damage.
Please can all responsible Green lane users local to this lane keep an eye on it, and spread the word that this lane is to be left alone for the foreseeable future!
