What are the possible solutions ??
Personally I think that there should be dedicated days that off-roaders are allowed to use the green lanes. Tuesdays and Sundays for example.

But I like to walk on Sundays, and I am not retired. Can we restrict the bikes and 4x4s to Tuesdays and Thursdays please ?

There needs to be a compromise. Sadly, there are too many people for this country and anything green is quickly being built over or developed.

And there is the problem. Shall we change the subject to building on Brown belt land ?

Or, they may find legal places. There is nothing to stop an enterprising land owner from setting up an off road course.
Or, demand to be treated like skateboarders and have the local council build a site on common land.
