Caving and CRoW
The CRoW debate
UPDATE
ON 24 July 2014 Wild Places Publishing was asked to host an Opinion prepared by a QC which considered aspects of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW), which came into force in 2005, and its interpretation relating to caving. The document was placed online at the same time as the following Introduction with its links to background information and other resources. On 31 July another request was made, this time to host a An Alternative View discussing points raised in the QC s Opinion. It should be noted that neither of these documents represent BCA policy; a BCA meeting was held on 16 August 2014 and work towards a formal policy is reported to be proceeding.
Rob Taylor, North Wales Police Rural Crime Team Manager JUST over seven years ago North Wales Police set up the UK s first dedicated rural crime team. The Leader spoke with its manager, Rob Taylor, to find out how the team has changed the way police tackle rural crime in our region and further afield. Mr Taylor said: We set up in 2013 and had always had a good relationship with the Environment Agency and the Countryside Council for Wales. The Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales was then Winston Roddick and he made a promise to form a dedicated rural crime team.
