Bridleways: Urban Areas
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential potential impact of bridleways on supporting active travel in urban areas.
- Answer
-
Decisions on measures to support active travel, including through the use of bridleways, are a matter for local authorities.
Active Travel England encourages local authorities to consult with local groups, such as equestrians, where any proposed active travel project involves the proposed use of a bridleway. This is appliable to both urban and rural areas.
