"No complementary measures whatsoever are included for cycling or sustainable travel and these plans would even make access more difficult for non-car visitors," the petition states.
"It is time to invest in greener transport modes, such as better access for Active Travel, as well as park and ride links to the nearby train station. The National Trust claim they're 'part of the global fight against climate change' – yet their actions on the ground speak otherwise. "Adding in safe and accessible walking routes will enable more people to choose to walk, helping to cut congestion and air pollution. Without improving options for more sustainable transport modes, it will force people into their cars and exclude those without access to one from enjoying National Trust properties."A National Trust spokesperson said the changes are all about making the site"more resilient" to extreme weather.
