Peak District Green Lanes Alliance

Martins Lane and Stockmoor Lane in Wingerworth are now bridleways. Motor vehicle rights both lanes were claimed by the Trail Riders Fellowship, the motor biking lobby, but their claimshave failed. PDGLA researches showed there were no historic public vehicle rights of way on either lane. At the same time, local residents, walkers and horse riders who had known the lane for many years were able to disprove claims made by motor bikers that they had used the lane for the 20 year period necessary under highway law to establish motor vehicle rights. Well done Wingerworth!
