The parks and open spaces strategy makes no mention of equestrian use, despite the fact that it is a very popular pursuit in the local area and its input to the local economy and should be amended accordingly. In March 2005 Hastings Borough Council issued a Parks and Open Spaces questionnaire which was completed by Hastings and St.Leonards residents. There were two questions relating to bridleways, the result for question 1 showed that 39.3% of people want more bridleways and off road cycleways. The proposed Local Plan, without equestrian access, only meets the cycleway need and does address the bridleway need of residents. WHY IS THIS? The result of question 2 showed that 34.1% of people would like the quality of current bridleways and off road cycleways
improved.
