Windermere Byelaws Consultation
Windermere Byelaws Review
Please note: the consultation period has now closed
We are carrying out a review of the Windermere Registration and Navigation byelaws.
Our aim is to produce byelaws which are simpler to understand and enforce whilst supporting a safe environment on the lake for us all to enjoy. The review will not address the 10mph speed limit on Windermere. The National Park Authority has agreed unanimously that the decision implemented in 2005 remains valid.
As part of the registration and navigation byelaw review process we would like to:
- produce an updated version of the byelaws to include all the amendments made over the years
- bring back some byelaws removed when the 10mph speed limit was introduced
- make alterations and additions to the existing byelaws
Public consultation now closed
As part of this process we held a 12 week public consultation to gather people’s views about the proposed changes. This lasted from 22 February - 16 May 2008.
Next steps
All responses will be evaluated by CN Research. This independent company will collate the responses and produce a report about the level of support for the suggested changes.
We will then write a report for our members to consider at a meeting of the National Park Authority. They will decide which amendments we will present to the Department of Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) for approval.
