Looks like a non winner for the local people as to why parking charges are in place at the winding walks,the only response from the forestry is how good an idea it is to rob the working class of more money that most can ill afford in these hard times,utter disgrace and a step towards pricing the walks out of local reach,greed is the only word,the walks with rubbish and dog dirt strewn all over,why is this so,surely you can now employ a warden to clean and upkeep the paths and the forest clean and free from rubbish or is the money being saved for your xmas party???.

I see the parking charges at the winding walks as yet another stealth tax on the local population`s enjoyment I will not be using this walk as I found enjoyment almost everyday walking my dog,I for one cannot afford the ■2 parking charge as I spend hours in the forest, this must be challenged by all next they will tax the walks by pence per mile.

I feel that it is very short sighted of the Forestry commission to remove dog poo bins from all of their sites! As dog owners who wish to act responsibly, encouraged by the council by the provision of free poo bags, how negative and backward thinking is it to remove the disposal receptacles for this purpose? Especially when you have the audacity to then charge for car parking!!! This is NOT improving facilities, as has been mentioned previously, this regressive "improvement" leads to paths and walks being littered with dog faeces or worse still, abandoned full poo bags by very frustrated dog walkers!!! I for one take them home but it is very stupid to remove these bins. From an angry, forward thinking dog owner.
