Support for formal Bridleways in Pelsall and Rushall
Support the equestrian community and work in conjunction with the British Horse Society to establish formal bridleways across Walsall but in particular the Pelsall and Rushall area.
Why is this important?
Roads are increasingly dangerous for the equestrian community with ever increasing traffic and speeding vehicles. It has never been more important to provide safe, off road riding for those who enjoy hacking out in our areas of natural beauty. Most landowners are understanding of their legal obligations to keep bridleways free from obstruction and provide suitable gates to provide access. There are no formal routes for the current equestrian community to safeguard their current pastime and access is threatening the informal existence of routes currently followed due to the installation of barriers to reduce off road biking nuisance. The equestrian community are proud of their links with the non-riding community who also enjoy and share some of the routes used whether it be for cycling or walking and wish to ascertain everyone's safety in the process.
