A group dedicated to preserving and repairing the Island’s green lanes says it welcomes prosecutions for those damaging the routes – but says more needs to be done to look after them.
Green Lanes - Our Heritage was set up during the row over vehicles damaging the Island’s uplands.
Through its website iomgreenlanes.co.uk it hopes to draw attention to the damage being caused.
And in the week the House of Keys was told three prosecutions are pending against irresponsible drivers, the group’s Richard Crowhurst says he’d like to see some of the lanes shut to traffic:
Warning over flare disposal after amenity site fire
Drug-driver jailed after passenger injured in crash
Suspended sentence for 56-year-old in cannabis supply case
Owner of a block of flats fined for failing to meet fire safety regulations
