The leader of PROWL says he's quite surprised a verdict on footpaths at Langness took as long as it did.
Ian Costain is however relieved over a court's final judgement at the end of last week, which ruled seven miles of paths on the peninsula are public rights of way that can’t be closed.
The battle has been a high-profile one, with extra publicity being generated by the involvement of TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, who tried to block public access to a path running by his property.
Mr Costain says the thoroughness of the inquiry at least means all interested parties had ample opportunity to have their say:
Warning over flare disposal after amenity site fire
Drug-driver jailed after passenger injured in crash
Suspended sentence for 56-year-old in cannabis supply case
Owner of a block of flats fined for failing to meet fire safety regulations
Review of taxi fares extended to assess impact of Middle East conflict
