South Lakeland Parks (SLP) Forum

The new fence at Fallbarrow, runs from the boathouse (the one down by the lodges on the front) and carries on behind the dog exercising field. It prevents anyone getting down to the waters edge, apparently it was agreed as part of the license extension.[img][img]http://www.imageposter.com/storage/t46/96744DSC01179.jpg[/img][/img]

This is typical of SLP management. Firstly, SLP never formally consulted with Fallbarrow owners and asked them if they wanted the season extended. Even if they had consulted, I am sure they would not have told us it was going to cost an extra £1,000 for the privilege. However, this goes beyond even the money. By extending the season, we are now prevented from accessing the lake shore, that would also be conveniently forgotten. Oh and don't think you can launch a boat or fish during the extended season, the extension license restrictions stops you from doing that as well.

So all the people who come to Fallbarrow with kids, who would love playing and exploring the lake shore, are now prevented from doing so, even in the summer. Well thanks very much SLP managment, you are slowly turning Fallbarrow into Colditz.

Just looks like a waste of money to me. I wonder who they will have on fence duty? Kids will be over that in no time!

I don't think they will give a monkeys. They have complied with the licence restrictions, so they don't care. SLP will ask the invisible security guard and boat warden to police it probably.
