Hi All...
This is aimed particularly at Welsh riders but may be of interest to others as well...
Please share and highlight the need to comment on this consultation to ensure horse riders and drivers are taken into consideration as well as the more obviously identified target of pedestrians and cyclists... If we don't squeak loudly, the worry is we might be omitted...
"Throughout the development of the White Paper, many groups have raised the complexity of the legislation surrounding rights of way and cycle tracks as a major barrier to the provision of new routes. As part of this White Paper consultation, we are seeking views on whether some of the definitions of rights of way should be amended in Wales.
Many of the footpaths regularly used by walkers, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas are of a quality and type which would allow for use by cyclists. There are also a number, particularly in more rural settings, which may be sensibly utilised by other users such as horse riders or carriage drivers."
