Wehay! \o/

the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) said removing the deadline would mean claims would “continue to disrupt many farm businesses for years to come”

My heart bleeds for the poor businesses having to be patient while councils take the time to properly record human beings’ ancient rights to walk over land.

“continue to disrupt many farm businesses for years to come”

Or they could you know.

Assume the right of way exists and plan to work within it.

If the potential of it being a righr of way is effecting them in any way. Then they must know where ir is being debated.

If they are choosing to fight it. The doubt is entirly their creation.

I wish the NFU would decide what the hell their priorities are and then stick to them for 5 minutes. They seem to swing wildly from issue to issue, without ever really improving things for farmers.

I grew up on a farm and we had some tracks through our fields, it was a total non issue as long as people kept dogs on leads. One time we had a helicopter land in one of our fields and even that wasn’t a problem, everything sprung back up after a while. Although immediately afterwards everything did kind of look like a mini nuke had gone off.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
