Representation Summary:
HBC wants to make best use of open spaces to promote healthy recreation, community safety and accessibility but The Parks & Open Spaces Strategy makes no mention of equestrian use. The March 2005 HBC Parks and Open Spaces questionnaire showed that 39.3% of people want more Bridleways & off-road cycleways. The proposed Local plan without equestrian access only meets the cycleway need and does not address the bridleway need of residents. The results also showed that 34.1% of people would like the quality of current Bridleways & off-road cycleways improved.
