    Labour never increased the funding when they were in power.

    My understanding is if the said fields are within walking distance from your home than yes you are. However, you're not supposed to drive from your home to the fields and then go for a walk from there.

    I wouldn’t wish to argue, trusting them completely..... despite what we’ve seen before? It’s a genuinely noble idea but they are just people surely? and fallible as you or I could be?

    The point was that it would be difficult for the police to enforce anything in this country seeing as there are 67 million people but only 12 police officers :)

    Thanks for that Stahlrost. The fields are nearby and scarcely used.

    What a knob. He's the kind of bloke that gives his fellow colleagues a bad name. Complete lack of common sense and too busy enjoying his little power trip.

    Fortunately his superiors were as impressed as the rest of us

    From the Metro

    A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: ‘The officer advised the woman that he was planning to issue a ticket for criminal damage. However, following a further conversation, no ticket was issued. ‘The actions shown in this video do not reflect the current policing style that the MPS seeks to adopt. The officer has been spoken to and all staff on the borough will be reminded about using discretion where appropriate in these exceptional times.’

    I know what you mean, I honestly do, but I still trust the police in general, even though I realise there will be "dodgy" ones among them at all levels. I'd also like to add that my comments are framed in the context of the current situation, where I firmly believe that we should all confirm to what the government say and the police try to enforce. Once this is all over, I'm confident that the police will stop asking people out and about where they are going etc.

    There is nothing in the legislation that restricts you from driving to your place of exercise.

    For example if you wanted, you could take the dog from Dodworth to Scout dyke and you’d be in your rights to do so.

    I agree it's a grey area, but some people are pushing the advice a bit, in my opinion. For example, you mention Dodworth - there's a good network of countryside paths around here, so nobody in Dodworth needs to drive anywhere to go for a walk. Personally I think the government should clarify it as it's too vague as it stands.

    Imo it's obvious what the idea is.
    If you can WALK to somewhere to exercise then walk. If you can't then drive to the closest place.

    The problem is not you, Deetee or me, driving somewhere quiet to exercise (with or without dogs). The problem is when people see that you are at "nice place" and they all decide to go as well at the weekend. Before you know it, Langsett, Ladybower or Scout Dyke have more people walking around than live in Yorkshire.

    That is why the police are objecting to people driving to exercise.

    The TPT at Worsbrough has been unbelievably busy for the past week, much quieter today but I'd imagine the walk around the res is manic

    And there's tonnes of parts where you can't maintain a safe distance if someone is coming the opposite way. People need to use common sense.

    My dog is not other dog friendly so keeping my distance is second nature, I also know other footpaths off the trail which are much quieter
