River Meon

Tabled by Dr Danny Chambers (Liberal Democrat) 12 signatures

The motion

That this House expresses deep concern over the recreational use of segments of the River Meon for off-road driving; notes that such activity is causing significant damage to the riverbed and constitutes ecological vandalism to one of the UK’s rare chalk stream habitats; underlines the fact that the River Meon is a legally protected chalk steam and expresses disappointment that local authorities have failed to act to take the necessary enforcement action to protect it; and urges the Government and local authorities to take decisive action to prevent vehicles damaging the riverbed of the River Meon by introducing a Traffic Regulation Order so as to protect one of Hampshire’s beautiful and rare chalk streams.
