While our Prime Minister is struggling with the Magna Carta we are presented with a Managers' Charter.
No secret that this blog holds Sheffield Moors Partnership master plan nonsense to be a conservation industry scam.

You can read the list of SMP's stop me and buy one roadshow events at which you can ‘stop by’ and say what a spiffing idea it is that all these nice conservation people have found a way of funding more office work. It's now on their website. And the document itself, the 'draft' Master Plan is also there.
There’s one of these 'roadshows' at Blacka Moor (somewhere at Blacka Moor presumably the car park off Hathersage Road) this Saturday 29th. We can hardly wait. Expect long queues.
SMP has now produced its Masterplan and it may be that there’s someone eagerly awaiting it with a sense of keen anticipation. Prepare to be bored to distraction. This is as sterile a bureaucratic exercise in job preservation as anyone could expect to see.
What is there here to inspire coming generations in the potential for natural beauty in the landscape? Nothing but promise of a few more routes for mountain bikers. In other words compensate for the desiccated and dreary experience you're offering by encouraging visitors to speed through on wheels.
There should be no misunderstanding about the real purpose for this exercise. It is intended to distance the public from involvement in decision making about the land. And it is to secure the status quo. Nobody in the land management organisations wants to discuss the serious issues that were raised at the preliminary exercise of stating views on post-it notes. They are predictably swamping the issues raised by the public in a glossy brochure which repeats the industry dogma in every pre-formed newspeak available in the thesaurus of land management bureaucracy. Nowhere in this document can you see any of the concerns raised most passionately in early meetings. It is as if those concerns do not exist. As long as you litter your document with pictures of mountain bikers and heather in bloom the dimmer of our politicians will swallow it. A Managers' Charter.
