Villagers Launch Campaign for Access Rights to Private Woodland
Villagers may soon be engaged in a dispute with the owner of a private woodland to ensure continued access for walking.
Residents have formed the Woodland Watchers group to campaign for access to Pentney Woods.
- Colin Pennington, the site owner, has been granted permission to build eco-lodges, sparking fears of closure.
- A previous refusal by West Norfolk Council was overturned by government officials and a High Court judge.
The woods are home to rare wildlife, according to villagers.
Villagers refuse to abandon their efforts, citing the woodland's importance.
