Paragraph 6.122: the fact that Wallasea Island is not going to be accessible to equestrians but only to walkers and cyclists is discriminatory and the opportunity for increased tourism here is being missed. The Policy on Rural Diversification and Tourism should be expanded to consider the importance of including access for all, including equestrians, where possible within such open spaces.
