I can certainly see the logic in most of what they are doing.
Diverting the main road away from the jetboat carpark & creating a picnic type area will be great...it will isolate this area from the main traffic flow & make it a nicer place to be.
But still cant see the logic in shutting off access west of the jetboat area in the weekend.
Cars will still be stolen..maybe not quite so many will be dumped in this area but they will still be dumped somewhere....so the idea that costs will be saved is void.
The local residents will only become more anti any forms of motorised activites as they will now be driving past there front doors to get in.
If we were to join the locals in going against the locking off of access via this point we would gain some favour for possible battles in this area in the future.
