I'd mentioned on here previously about the fly-tipping problem at the site. On the 9th Oct' the Telegraph reported that cleanup was underway:

Today I took a drive over for a stroll in Hapton woods, the bollards had been moved aside at the Hapton end of Mill Hiil Lane but when I got to the car park it was sealed off. It looks permanent to me. The height barrier rails have been removed, large boulders placed at the entrance, and appears to have been lanscaped(ish).
Have we lost another public amenity because the Council won't tackle fly-tipping? For people like myself with restricted mobility this was one of the few local spots left with adjacent parking where you could take a gentle walk in the woods, away from the hurly-burly. There's now nowhere to park on Mill Hill Lane, its effectively off limits if you can't walk to it from Huncoat or Hapton Rd.
