Working with the police
Unfortunately, as in all walks of life, there are people that flaunt the rules. Over the years we have worked with a number of police forces up and down the country, including the MOD police. In most instances it’s about educating people, but sometimes it’s about enforcing the law.
Working partnerships
Through our working partnerships that span well over a decade, we understand that Police forces are far more successful in public relations and resolving unlawful use issues when briefed with well-informed knowledge on where in the countryside the public can go in a motorised vehicle and what rights they possess. This is particularly important for the 20% of the population who are affected by disability.
The Green Lane Association partners with forces in several ways:
Inform - with our extensive knowledge on the green lane network and unsurfaced roads
Guide - with our education programme on where the public can reasonably go and what they can lawfully do
Offer - with the installation of motion detection cameras on problem hot spots, attending events, and supplying informative and educational resources
Provide - full access to our green lane database and our internal knowledge base
Encourage - our members to be your eyes and ears in the countryside
Through voluntary working partnerships successful projects have taken place in dozens of counties. Each project takes into consideration the needs of the area, the resources available to the force, and closely monitors the behavioural outcomes of actions taken.
In all cases, positive outcomes for all involved were evidenced and relationships continue to grow and flourish.
