Inappropriate gates along the whole of the bridleway
Reported via desktop in the Passage-Obstructed/Overgrown category anonymously at 12:43, Fri 8 April 2022
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 3446397.
All gates located along the Catesby to Arbury Hill / Badby bridleway are inappropriate for use by horse. As well as the gate within a gate problem all gates along this route have low hooks and are weighted or sprung to close quickly. It gives you no time at all to manoeuvre your horse and sadly I have had to stop using this route that's on my door step and use main roads instead. I'm unsure if a couple of them are narrower than usual too. Also the byway that is located on the same farmers land has the same issues. If you were alone in a vehicle you would not be able to keep the gate open to get your vehicle through. If I can help at all with pictures / video's or evidence for your files please let me know.
