HORSE RIDERS BEWARE

We are surprised and disappointed that the yes activists should be taking this permanent 'one-way' stance here in Spencers Wood. Being a rural area there are horses all around and actually in a field off Croft Road itself.

Pushing for this scheme means that the horse riders would have to ‘do the round trip’ along with everyone else – more time on the roads, more risk of accidents etc etc.

THE LAW

When riding on the road you should keep to the left keep both hands on the reins unless you are signalling keep both feet in the stirrups

not carry another person

not carry anything which might affect your balance or get tangled up with the reins

keep a horse you are leading to your left

move in the direction of the traffic flow in a one-way street

never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends
The say No campaign calls upon all horse riders and owners to support our campaign to keep two-way traffic in Croft Road.

I've checked this out with DCY and he's happy with it.

I agree in principle with the NO campaign however your claim of a twenty five minute round trip is stretching the imagination some.
