Closure on behalf of those who are foolish or selfish is akin to banning floral displays on a high street because of vandals to spoil it for the vast majority of people who just take pleasure from simple things.

A snapshot into the roads and highways of yesteryear. They should be maintained and open to public traffic for all to enjoy. Be it a splash on a summers day with the kids or for keen 4x4 enthusiasts to have a wash off in the winter swells. regardless the ford brings pleasure to peoples lives. And those that are too stupid to get stuck?? why not have a local recovery service contracted out!
