This bridleway link is regularly used by both riders and walkers, it has received no maintenance for years and is now in a dangerous state

Please sort this bridleway out. We as horse riders dont enjoy riding on the roads but we have no choice when bridleways are impassable as this one is in the winter.

We have few enough bridleways in Weymouth and this one is an important link for many of us that enables us to access those few that we do have It gets badly overgrown with brambles in the summer and becomes extremely muddy in the winter. It is neglected by the local council and my husband and I have had to clear a pathway through with saws and secateurs on several occasions over the past few years.

This bridle way is wet in winter and overgrown in the summer. I ended up in the ditch with m horse at one point!

Please maintain this bridleway, it's safer to keep away from the roads. Thankyou

Please, please make this bridleway safe and usable as it is a valuable link for the riders at Buckland Ripers and Nottington to get to a wider network of rides without having to negotiate a much longer route which includes the main Dorchester Road and the narrow windy bends through Nottington. As it stands the bridleway is almost impassable in wet weather with horses sinking almost up to their knees. Occasionally a walker will throw down a pallet or pieces of wood to aid their passage but this completely stops ours!

This bridleway is a valuable link cutting out a stretch of road that can be difficult to negotiate at busy times.

This bridle path is totally unusable during the winter months and would be a great asset to the local riders if this path was dramatically improved.

A route I used frequently when I lived in the area, bridle ways are important and this one helps by avoiding the road!

This bridle way provides a valuable link between Nottington and the Springfield bridle way and avoids needing to use large stretches of the dangerous main road.

We have dogs so also use the bridle ways. My daughter and granddaughter also ride and need to be away from traffic, so let's get them clear and keep our animals and family safe

This is a very necessary path to keep riders from harm on the roads. Please get it fixed

I had problems on Sunday riding through as someone had put pallets down therefore I was unable to ride through. This happens a lot, we don't have many off road bridle paths as it is and this one is really nice when rideable.

I've used this bridleway for about 45 years, it must be hundreds of years old as a right of way. Please repair this oasis before its lost. It's really needed
