Last year 71-year-old grandfather Mr Price was towed behind a speedboat driven by Mark Threadgold, who is also blind, to set a new record by skimming across the lake at 46.2mph, breaking his own record of 42 mph. The waters are also used for the popular world records week, attracting people from all over the world trying to set speed records.

Mr Price, a UKIP parliamentary candidate for Denton and Reddish, said: "There have been over 40,000 names on a petition by people who do not want the 10mph speed limit. So how can the Lake District National Park Authority get away with ignoring the views of so many?

Good to see UKIP people getting involved in local issues!

Why cant they have a speed limit on alternate days?

They bring out these stupid laws, its like handguns and shooting, if we have the olympics they will have to get a special law passed to have the shooting competition in this country :?

'Tis well known; and it's called the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Usually happens in direct relationship to the number of knee-jerk reactions undergone by MPs whilst voting.

Like voting to slaughter cows & sheep suffering from some dreadful S. American disease ... then putting it INTO phpbb_CAP ... then finding that you can't do anything BUT, even though vets now know Foot & Mouth is no worse than the flu.

Or care in the community.... :wink:
