The DPA will be happy to continue to work with the Authority or any other interested party to help protect the landscapes we love." "R egardless of our differences in some areas, we share a common concern over the future of Dartmoor. " The proposal contains ambiguous wording which leaves much open to interpretation and the Authority should ensure that its proposals can be clearly understood, so that the public is in no doubt as to its rights and responsibilities when it comes to the National Park. The DPA added: " The DPA also noted that no mention was made in the proposal regarding littering and pollution, which are key issues that need to be addressed moving forward. Instead the "critical friend" suggests the DNPA need to reflect on a long-term plan to support the rangers in their preservation of the moors and pressures on policing and authorities may not be achievable for all the new rules.
