The bill threatens to make trespass a criminal offence by creating public spaces protection orders – in fact, exclusion orders – applied to places like open country and village greens, where the public currently has the right of recreation

Could be an issue where cyclists and ramblers need to work together.

Yet another brilliant thing this government is trying to do. Well done to everyone that voted for them.

Hadn’t heard about this until now.

Little bit more about it here:
Criminalising trespass – a new threat

Section 53 is the relevant section.
It does look like it could be abused and used to block specific activities. I.e. Biking, Kayaking etc.

Are BC and CTC asleep on the job?

It’s certainly past time that one of them have us something to rally behind.

Oh what a load of old c0ck this government is.

another reason to be glad to live in Scotlandshire

One for each LAF too.
