Visit has been made and we are aware of the overgrowth which has not been able to be cleared due to suspected badgers undermining the path, a survey was just carried out and no badgers found so we are able to now clear path an will be done over the winter months

Whilst the Bridleway has been partially cleared ( assume in 2020/21) it is still difficult to navigate. Travelling west you would tend to keep the boundary fence to Borough Hill on your right but when the path moves away from this, the route isn’t clear. Also due to previous Badger burrows you can barely walk safely let alone think of riding a horse. It either needs to be fully reinstated or downgraded to RoW

Thanks for reporting this it is part of a routine mowing program and will be cleared once again in the spring and later in the summer. Regarding the badgers we have looked at this and still investigating the potential of closing part of the sett across the bridleway.
