Land Rover Donates 60 Vehicles to Red Cross
Buckingham Palace, London, United Kingdom
As part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, Land Rover has donated 60 vehicles to the British Red Cross Society, where 30 will be used in the UK and 30 will assist with some of the most pressing humanitarian programmes throughout the rest of the world. The vehicles were officially handed over to the Red Cross President, HRH The Prince of Wales, during The British Red Cross Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace on 9th July 2008. In an unprecedented move, the vehicles, a mixture of Defender, Discovery and Freelander 2 models, were arranged in the form of a cross in the quadrangle of the Palace.

The Land Rover vehicles will be used by Red Cross personnel and volunteers around the world. The donation is in addition to the Land Rover G4 Challenge Partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, which aims to raise over £1m over the course of the next two challenge
cycles.

The Motoring Organisations' Land Access and Recreation Association (LARA) takes the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority to the High Court over the decision to put permanent prohibition of motors orders on eight unsealed roads.

The use of 'recreational motor vehicles' on unsealed roads in the Yorkshire Dales National Park has been a contentious issue for many years. The Yorkshire Dales Trail Management Advisory Group (with members from a wide range of organisations) recommended a package of traffic control measures, each tailored to the specific situation of an initial set of eight routes:

After two rounds of wide public consultation, but not based on evidence, the Access Committee of the National Park Authority resolved in April 2008 to ignore its own officers' original recommendations, and to put full-time, permanent motor traffic prohibition orders on all these routes. LARA took Counsel's advice on the validity of the National Park Authority's decision and, consequent upon this has made an application to the High Court to have the orders quashed on eight grounds, including straightforward non-compliance with statutory requirements.

LARA's Member Organisations are not opposed to necessary and proportionate traffic regulation on unsealed roads, and actively pursue this in many places across Britain. The decision of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority rides roughshod over a great deal of hard work in finding a workable solution that allows motorists to share what is only a very small proportion of the National Park's unsealed rights of way.

The issues identified by LARA's legal team are applicable to almost all traffic regulation order cases, and clarifying and establishing the legal and procedural requirements that bind highway authorities will have a value way beyond the boundaries of the Yorkshire Dales.

Fighting this case is very expensive, win or lose. Everyone involved in motor sport and recreation is asked to visit LARA's website and make a donation to the Fighting Fund.

The LRO Show is the biggest Land Rover show in the UK, and is organised by respected automotive event promoter,
The show takes place at The East of England Showground, Peterborough
(next to the A1) and the show site is a purpose built showground, with toilets, showers, quality
exhibition areas and tarmac roadways.

For many years Live Promotions have run 4x4 and Land Rover Shows, introducing vehicle auctions, restoration projects, quality arena displays, clearly defined areas of the show (i.e. industry exhibitors, general trade, autojumble, clubs), and much more. Our events are professionally
organised for both exhibitors and the public.

Peterborough has become an important date and venue in the Land Rover Owner and off-road show calendar and this exciting
show provides a superb meeting place for owners, magazines, clubs and the industry, and an opportunity for visitors to buy anything and everything for their vehicles.

 Sunday 14 September
Old Sodbury’s Land Rover Sortout will be right next to the LRO Show at the East of England Showground at Peterborough. .Visitors will make their way to the Sortout from massive free car parking through an action packed LRO Show to gather for the 11am “gold rush” Buyers and Sellers will find a proper Old Sodbury’s Land Rover Sortout with plenty of familiar faces and
plenty of choice. If it is Land Rover related all they have to do is find
it. The big difference is that their admission tickets will get them into
both the Sortout and into the Show running alongside.
