A NATIONAL park in the Highlands is set to clamp down on campfires after a new seasonal byelaw was introduced.
A public consultation ran for 10-weeks and received 1664 responses from residents, businesses, land managers and visitors – 79% of respondents supported the introduction of a fire management byelaw. It is estimated that the park is home to more than 18,000 residents and sees around two million visitors each year.
“It’s clear from these responses that there is strong support for a fire management byelaw, with 79% of people in favour.“We believe that a seasonal byelaw combines the best elements of what people were looking for – relative simplicity for communication and understanding, and not being too heavy handy in covering months when there is far less recreational fire activity.
