Druidh,
I’m not convinced they need to change the LR(S)A at all, they just need to police the problem areas and enforce existing laws. I expressed this view in the consultation process for the camping ban and was duly ignored.
The LR(S)A/OAC only allows wild camping if it is responsible. Firstly there is already a strong argument that wild camping is not “wild” if you drove there and are within sight of your car! Secondly the fact there is a problem clearly means the camping is not being executed responsibly – i.e. there is litter, criminal damage to trees, breach of the peace, drunkeness etc. All of which not only eliminate any access rights but also are criminal offences.
If they have the resources to enforce the new restrictions they must have the resources to enforce the existing ones.
As it was explained to me most of the problem areas are accessed by car/van and some overnight parking restrictions would probably have been just as effective (and easier to police – as you don’t need to catch the people only the vehicle). I think I also suggested a ban on “open” fires as these are part of the problem, are probably not responsible, and seem to be part of the attraction. They are also relatively easy to find compared to a tent.
