Submitted by Sue Jeggo – Deadline to sign up by: 28 May 2009 – Signatures: 4,098
Horse Riders have access to less than 25% of the current public rights of way network, and face danger when using todays busy roads.
To ensure appropriate funding is in place and legislation (Highway Act 1980 S26) to be used by local authorities for new bridleways to be shown on definitive maps and ordnance survey maps.
To ensure the Highway AGency develops a national programme of re-instating severed crossing points by creating new dedicated bridle bridges or underpasses as safe crossing points for motorways or trunk roads.
To ensure Local authorites and parish councils develop local joined up community riding circuits of 5-15 miles to rebuild the national bridleroute network.
