Expansion plan ‘could threaten Dales brand’ - Farming - Yorkshire Post: "But the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority’s chief executive, David Butterworth, told the Yorkshire Post that he believed an extension to the boundaries would not prove as problematic as many feared.
He added that the authority supported the move, as long as it was given enough funding to support its work across a wider area
and local democracy for communities in the existing park is not eroded.
He said: “It is about considering whether the landscapes are worthy of designation. I do believe that if the boundaries are extended, then it will enhance the area for the people living there."
The only people who benefit from national park designation are the people who run it. The tourism industry existed long before some misguided people started drawing the suffocating boundaries.
The indigenous population suffer from what international human rights lawyers describe as "soft eviction" or "voluntary resettlement" when they can't find work which isn't part-time, seasonal or subject to the vagaries of the weather, poor wages mean they can't afford the housing even if it is subject to pointless and unenforceable 'locals occupancy' restrictions.
