Could have been worse, maybe now Forestry will get on and build that trail center they've been talking about for years.

"We hope owning Great Wood outright rather than managing it under a lease reassures visitors and local people of our commitment to stewardship of the woodland and safeguarding public access"

The Forestry Commission have always been pretty pro bikes and access haven't they? Sounds like a good news story to me?!

On the surface yes...if they control it, yes...but it depends on how 'pro biker and access' you mean...if they are invited along for the ride then no...they want/need total control...
