I'm not one to resist change and I'd like the money to be spent here (wisely). But, I've already seen bulldozers clearing moorland near the northern fringe of Ilkley Moor, by the town, with what seems to be scant regard for any rock-art that may lie hidden in the heather.
I dearly hope I don't see the area become a Country Park!
The trails of discarded Special Brew cans penetrate deeper into the moor every year.
Sacred carvings seem to be the target of ignorant vandalism all too often.
Will as much be spent on environmental education as the laying of paths? As much on increasing awareness and appreciation of ancient sites as on increasing car-parking capacity?
I'll watch with interest (and a naive hope!)...
