On ER12 edge of Brickfield Farm field, metal field gate dropped and jammed into catch on post making it impossible to lift and move whilst on horseback impeding thoroughfare. There are 2 gates within a small area forming a box and tricky to negotiate opening & closure! Thank you.

This is a public bridleway and therefore should be kept open with easy accessibility for horseriders. British Horse Society have strict guidelines on safety issues on bridleways. Northamptonshire Access & Rights of Way should be informed thank you.
