flag Locals oppose a proposed Lake District trail extension over tourism, parking, and heritage concerns.

flag A proposed extension of the Keswick to Threlkeld Trail in the Lake District faces strong local opposition, with residents warning it could overwhelm the area with tourists, worsen parking issues, and damage unadopted roads. flag The plan includes new paths, a bridge over the River Glenderamackin, and landscaping, but critics argue it's unnecessary and could harm scenic views and historic railway features due to a proposed tall fence. flag Concerns also center on the £8 daily parking fee, potential road overflow, and the exclusion of horse riders in the initial phase. flag The debate underscores tensions between tourism development and preserving local heritage and community life.
