Default Lake District is apparently "not diverse enough"...

Quote:
Outrage as National Park boss ignites PC row after claiming the Lake District must 'change and diversify' because it is too heavily weighted toward 'white middle-class able-bodied people'
* Boss Richard Leafe said the site must change to merit continued public funding
* He said if parks are seen as exclusive to one group, they 'start to lose relevance'
* A report has said national parks are not doing enough to make people welcome
* Lake District National Park Authority reportedly facing High Court judicial review
* This is over its refusal to ban four-wheel drive vehicles from some of its fell trails

FFS leave it alone! Absolutely anyone can go to the Lake District, it's not like they have melanin barriers, how on earth can it be "weighted toward white people" ?

Able bodiedness I can kind of see, but going on leisurely hikes is more of an able bodied activity.
