This is absolutely
not the way to tackle this potential menace.
There will be some information on the Derbyshire County Council's website, giving details of the proposal - and the only way to influence this decision is to make a formal objection, to be in DCC's hands before Friday 2nd September. You need to write to:
STRATEGIC DIRECTOR - ECONOMY TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS,
DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL,
COUNTY HALL,
MATLOCK,
DE4 3AG
There is no point sending anything abusive, or accusatory (despite what many of us are probably thinking). You need to list concrete reasons why this proposed parking alteration would create a worse situation than that at present. This has the potential to have a seriously adverse effect on cavers in the UK nationally, not just Peak District cavers. If you don't give proper grounds for your objection DCC will have every justification for filing it under "b".
There is also an email address: netmanadmin@derbyshire.gov.uk
(However, a real letter would probably have more clout.)
There is only a very short time to do your bit, so please, everyone, write a structured letter to object.
This is the thin end of a very nasty wedge and you might like to ask yourself where will be next, if it's not nipped in the bud.
Go on - JUST DO IT!
