Commons - Relevance to Equine Access

Cornwall Council, which is responsible for our bridleways, does appreciate the need for a better network funding. Both capital and recurrent, is an ongoing problem. We are constantly lobbying to show how important our paths network and, in particular, bridleways are to the local economy. The British Horse Society Cornwall is constantly working with Cornwall Council to ensure that brileways receive the priorirtty they deserve. The BHS nationally is working at with all relevant goverment bodies to promote the necessity for safe off road riding, with associated econimoic and health benefits. Riding and horse ownership is ever more popular and the roads are getting busier. We all do need safe places to ride.

Your BHS County Access and Bridleways Officers for Cornwall are Adrian and Margaret Bigg. See Contacts

We work voluntarily on your behalf to preserve the riding we do have and to improve the bridleway and ridden paths network. County Access Officers are unpaid volunteers. Adrian is also the BHS SW Regional Officer, and is supported by a dedicated access team at BHS Head Office.The BHS is working on your behalf lobbying and liaising the government and councils to forward the access issues to enable improvement to the bridleway network in England and Wales.

The BHS does need your support.
