On the ground

[webofevil]

A new high point for fans of “on the ground”:

Lord Greaves: In places where there is no [coastal] access at all, the route will have to be physically created on the ground.

As opposed to those free-floating coastal paths we hear so much about? Actually, I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if that turned out to have been a Lib Dem manifesto comitment at some point.

I fear that, through cherrypicking, I might inadvertently have made this Bill look more interesting than it actually is. This is more representative than the breathless excitement of Lord Greaves's ruminations:

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: Amendment A350ZZA would require a provision that regulations may be made that include a requirement that representations should be made on the question of whether Natural England's report fulfils the requirements of its coastal access duty in Sections 286 and 287.
