No one said it would be easy......

I have today recieved a response from the RPA. It is I am afraid a rather perfunctory repetition of their initial position. I have to admit to being a little depressed by the predictability of the faceless civil 'servant', and the fact that term is proving to be a contradicition in terms. There is some hope in that they did not mention the link with motorsports and that the position has shifted to the rational that the sport is "likely to cause damage", and therefore the classification remains the same. This on its own is not a reason to restrict an activity in it's own right. The framework only restricts an activity if it would prevent a farmer from keeping the land in Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition. I have responding and requested that they provide the detailed reasoning behind the decision to restrict the activity in this way. I have also written to written to Phil Hope MP who has in turn again written to The secretary of State for Culture media and Sport for a response. Please show your support and sign the petition for your fellow kiters, the demonstration of opinion will be invaluable.
