Policy document flawed - only refers to cycling and walking not horse riding - discriminatory - all access needs to be inclusive. Roman Road at Babraham is not a footpath! Good ideas - regarding health and well being of all. 'escaping to nature' supports the protection of rural grass bridleways for soft surface users - walkers, dog walkers, runners equestrians. Essential that public access, links and enhancements to the PROW and green spaces built into development conception not as an afterthought. Urban greening and de-paving also supports protection of rural grass paths.
