Fewer than half of the fell paths Lake District rangers had hoped to upgrade last year were worked on as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

A spokesman for the Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) said the impact of Covid-19 on maintaining the paths had been "considerable".

They said: “We lost 50% of our staff time over the fell season from March to October.

“This was due to all staff being furloughed for nine weeks during April to June, and also because we had to halt recruitment of five Fix the Fells Rangers in March because of the pandemic’s impact on finances."

In total of the 30 paths earmarked for work in 2020, only 13 were completed.

Rival sides in a row over plans to create a 150-space car park for Cat Bells at Ullock Moss in the Lake District both claim to have overwhelming public support.

Cat Bells is one of the most popular walks in the Lake District and neighbouring roads can become congested, with cars parking on narrow verges.

Chris Grainger, a Cumbrian architect who's representing the applicant, said: "The majority of residents support the car park and the majority of residents outside the area support the car park by an additional 20%, so we almost have three out of four people supporting the car park location."

But John Wilson, who lives in Portinscale and is opposing the plans, said: "The local support is simply not true, when you look at the replies that have gone into the planners you'll find 80% of replies from Portinscale residents are actually against the proposals."

Steve Ratcliffe, the Lake District National Park Authority’s (LDNPA) Director for Sustainable Development said: “We have a planning application for the construction of a new car park, with amenities building at Ullock Moss, a new shuttle bus turning facility at Cupboard Field and a series of measures to the adjacent highway and footpath infrastructure."

Views on the proposals, are still being welcomed by the LDNPA.

Mr Ratcliffe said: "We will assess the application in accordance with development plan policies and take into account views we receive.

"The application will be decided by the Authority’s Development Control Committee in due course. We will provide an update on the application webpage when we know the date of the meeting.”
