Windermere Spoil Sports have it sussed! ;)

I was just watching the news and have heard (with great relief) that the economic community in windermere will be ok after all!!

When the ban comes in next year the LDNPA are going to put a round the lake cylcle route and a water bus service into operation - at last an anwser to all our problems (especially the private house owners who's land backs onto the lake and the huge number of ferries already touring windermere daily)

So with the millions that are taken away form the area from 2005 onwards will be replaced by cyclists in teashops and from the revenues from the water taxies! - now that must ahve taken them all of 5 minutes to come up with...

I think that its time the LDNPA really got its thinking cap on instead of pumping out crap ideas that blatently are not going to improve the situation for anyone - you're getting yourselves into this mess boys now get yourselves out!!! they clearly have not got a clue...

- nows where i apologise for just venting steam! but it really p****s me off to see what is essentially a bit of propaganda pumped so easily out onto our airwaves.

Later,

I think you are underestimating the spending power of the cyclist, they dont do many miles to the gallon you know so there will be a lot of revenue at the petrol pumps. They are dificult to move by car so most will be moored at the local marinas generating more revenue. And then there are all those lakeside boating shops which are eagerly diversifying in to cycling supplies, they will be creaming it in selling innertubes and chains instead of those low profit margin 200K boats.
All the lake wardens can probably find alternative employment patroling the cycle routes helping people with punctures.
And lets not forget those big spending "walkers" boy do they get through some money on a day out in the lakes.

Ahh the utopia that is Britain, where the people in power dont possess the power of reason

So from now on it will be "Shepards barabrith supplies" and the "coffee shack" :roll:

"AN INDEPENDENT Formal Safety Assessment of Lake Windermere has found that under today's conditions no incompatibility of lake users exists, undermining the key point cited at the Public Enquiry of 1994/5 as the only reason for introducing a 10mph speed limit on the lake."


The above is a brief summary of the latest news on the www.waf.uk.com web-site. It makes very interesting reading.

Don't you think that if the LDNPA were taken to court they wouldn't have a leg to stand on ?
