I suspect that the letter writer in today's Telegraph has somewhat misunderstood the situation. This is not surprising. SWT will say that there has been no restriction on access to Blacka Moor. And to an extent they will be right. Our position is that the changes made by SWT have damaged the site in other ways. It is no longer the same free and easy wild place once farmification management is introduced. The presence of a grazing regime with fences and livestock makes an impact on the character of the place out of proportion with the conjectured gains, even if these were realised.
It would not be untypical of SWT and their allies to use this misunderstanding to attack us for 'misleading' people. They of course are professionals in the field of misrepresentation.
