Only references access for walkers and cyclists. The CPCA Local Transport Plan defines Active travel as walking cycling and horse riding. It is discriminatory to exclude equestrians from access to leisure opportunities. It also is contrary to the Equal Act as the majority of horse riders are female. The Cambridgeshire RoWIP states that the bridleway network is fragmented, inadequate and in need of improvement. Equestrians contribute over £100 million pa to the Cambridgeshire Local Economy and a safe bridleway network is essential to support that industry. Cambourne with its peripheral bridleway is a great example of good design.
