The trend is growing in other areas for more routes to be opened up to all non-motorised users. This increases the percentage of the network open to equestrians and cyclists with minimal cost, ensuring that best value for money is achieved

All the preferred cycle routes seem to lead directly to the town centre, it seems short-sited not to include a route around the perimiter of the town, particularly in view of the new cycle and equestrian paths which are to be developed with the Link Road. A multi-user path in this area, to include cyclists, pedestrians & horse riders woud link into existing routes and provide a safe alternative to motorised transport on busy roads.

We feel that there should be a multi user route around the perimeter of the town, connecting Ore with the Conquest, Secondary Schools & the industrial estates. This is a very busy route. This route should also be suitable for equestrians with large stables at St Helens Down & Beauport & Ore, this route would provide safer acess for them to the new Country Park at Pebsham.

Parks & Open spaces strategy fails to mention equestrian users despite considerable public need being shown over many years.
To exclude a large user group is discrimmination.

We support the provision of safe routes for sustainable travel and would like to see a good network that allows access across the urban area and into the countryside and coast. Connectivity is very important.

The 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 paths 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. The proposed routes radiate from the town centre, the routes should be expanded to include routes around the edge of the town and borough boundary.

Earlier consultation generated over 40 responses in favour of progressing the Hastings Greenway project, yet this support (backed by support from Community Fora)has been diluted to one passing reference to "a greenway" and to a single diagram.

The adopted Local Plan included a policy statement in respect of Hastings Greenway and an indicative route, albeit only for the Town Centre. Since then parts of the Greenway have been delivered and a wider network is in the process of delivery through collaboration with Sea Space, Hastings College and Sustrans. Your mapping should be amended to show achieved and proposed connectivities?

You will know your diagrammatic network on page 133 is almost entirely based on original work undertaken by myself, for the HBC and others. This work was to support Jane Jackson's on the LDF ). It is disappointing that no credits are given or any reference made to the Greenway vision and HBC's original support

HBC might now reconsider the Greenway given the wide public support for the project; the support of Hastings College, Sustrans, HUB and Network Rail, and their potential partnership on the proposed college link; And not least, the support of Michael Foster MP.

Current footpaths are ill maintained and poorly signposted in a lot of cases. Make them accessible and then perhaps they'll be used. I realise this is ESCC and that they are about to carry out a survey, but it took the best part of a year to get one path accross the SSSI sorted. Pressure needs to be imposed.

Central hastings is superb - Alexandra Park etc. Have attention to outlying areas and their associate footpaths. Oh for the whole of Hastings to be as well maintained as Alexandra Park and the Country Park!

Creating multi-user paths for non-motorised traffic, including cyclists and equestrians would improve the quality, accessibility and value of our open spaces.

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.

All preferred cycle routes seem to lead directly to the town centre, it seems short sighted not to include a route around the perimeter of the town, particularly in view of the new cycle and equestrian path which are to be developed with the link road, and the fact that residents from Ore and Hollington may wish to travel to the hospital, schools, industrial estates, leisure facilities and large offices such as DWP & CSA on The Ridge area. A multi user path in this area, to include cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders would link into existing routes and provide a safe alternative to motorised transport on very busy roads. The trend is growing in other areas for more routes to be opened up to all non-motorised users.

Why are horses and owners not included at all in this project? This is discrimination.
