The Parish Council have been contacted by the Rights of Way Department who have carried out an inspection of Bridle Road and the Public Bridleway – in particular from the end of the adopted highway to the gate – where surface water has caused significant erosion to the surface.  It is their intention to carry out some surface improvements - this work will include minor excavation to the eroded area and the installation of twin drainage pipe to contain the surface water and channel it into the existing ditch alongside Bridle Road. The area will be covered by 40mm granite scalps that will be compacted to provide a suitable surface for all user groups.

The Rights of Way Department also confirm that these improvements will not in any way increase the levels of existing surface water, merely channel it into existing ditches to prevent further erosion.
