Lake Windermere report casts doubt on speed limit
 

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.

Well, it's comforting that the good guys can win at least some of the
times, even if it's only temporary.

Keep up the fight!

You got me worried then and I had to check - it is still there. There
was just no point in maintaining 2 sites (well 3 actually as I also
have http://www.lake-district.info) so I just set up a redirect to the
waf site as the person that looks after that one is obviously more
skilled than I... :)

Oh you cynic! The Faxyourmp.com campaign has had some successes. It
overturned part of the RIP Bill (which as an IT security person is
just one I happen to know about). There are others....

An illustration of how long my response has been on the back burner !

I did point out in my letter that I had no personal interest in the
speed limit myself - doesn't affect me - but I don't see why others
should have the restriction imposed on them !
