Residents of Bawtry, near Doncaster, have been banned from walking in formerly public woodland after a luxury wedding venue bought it - and now have to apply for permits
The hotel owners have now ruled that locals can apply for individual permits to access the land. Bawtry Town Council has now also backed residents on this issue.
The authority posted a letter in the Bawtry Today, saying: “The Town Council supports the residents in seeking to have public rights of way recognised.”A resident shared their view: “Bawtry Hall keeps saying they are working with locals but there’s no real evidence of this.” Elsewhere, the formerly open Menagerie Woods was fenced off from the public earlier this year. A resident shared that fences were vandalised “within a day, which tells you how people feel.”The reason for the change is unknown, as no planning applications have been submitted for the land.Finally, a reservoir between Bawtry and Harworth is in the final stages of being flattened. Again, it is unclear what the intent of this operation is as there is no public planning information for the space.
The trio of developments makes for three key public spaces of biodiversity that are no longer available to Bawtry residents.The Doncaster Free Press has reached out to Bawtry Hall/The Crown Hotel for comment. Bawtry Hall is a Georgian country house that was used by the RAF’s Bomber Command during World War Two. It later became a Christian retreat and is now a luxury wedding venue.
