Prohibit ziplines from being constructed over Thirlmere reservoir in Cumbria

Petition Details

Currently 8 ziplines are being proposed to be constrcuted over Thirlmere Reservoir by company Treetop Trek. Alot of opposition locally has been generated but given the The Lake District is a National Park far more people from around the UK have a strong opinion on this.

Additional Information

Various news papers, social media pages and and online articles are documenting this proposed construction all highlighting alot of critism.

As The Lake District is a National Park, the citizens of the UK should be able to voice their opinions.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local planning issues are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

Once an application is made for the development to take place, all local residents have the right to request that a planning application be ‘called in’ by the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government. This means that it will assess the planning application against certain criteria and decide if a full inquiry is needed. For more information, including the criteria and how to request the call in of a planning application, see:
