tabling member constituency	High Peak
tabling member printed	Jon Pearce
uin	2007
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/08/2024 answer text <p>While many users make use of these rights in a responsible way, the Government is aware of damage and disturbance caused by excessive use of off-road motor vehicles on highways where such activities are legal, such as byways open to all traffic and on other unsealed roads which carry motor vehicle rights, often referred to as ‘green lanes’. Motor vehicle use on green lanes can damage the surface and reduce enjoyment of the route by other users. Defra consulted on banning vehicles from green lanes as part of the 2019 Landscapes Review, but a legislative ban to remove vehicular rights was not supported. Defra believes that the current Traffic Regulation Order process is legally robust enough to protect green lanes with carefully targeted local action to protect sensitive areas, while allowing vehicle users to responsibly enjoy the countryside.</p><p> </p><p>It is local authorities’ responsibility to monitor and repair public rights of way, which includes green lanes.</p> answering member constituency Coventry East answering member printed Mary Creagh question first answered 05/08/2024 15:11:31 answering member 1579 label Biography information for Mary Creagh
