I completely agree with Dave here. I'd hate to see the moor prettied up or even made more accessible. The rubbish situation on the moor is getting worse and it is education that is needed rather than catering for greater numbers. Footpath erosion is not the most immediate problem on the moor.
Info boards at the main access points for the moor would be good, but I'd hate to see the moor littering with info boards at sites.
We've already seen the Bradup Circle destroyed recently due to land clearance and more sites will go unless an initiative is presented to landowners around the moor's fringes.
Grafitti on rock art is becoming a real problem. The Haystack rock suffering in particular. Much of the rock art is already weathered and very delicate, so any unnecessary wear must be actively discouraged if further generations are to be able to learn from their heritage.
Maybe a warden to keep on top of the litter problem and discourage grafitti would be a good idea? I'd do it! Sounds like an ideal job to me!!
Do you think we should write to the powers that be Dave? Maybe outline a few things that concern us as people who care about the moor and it's history?
