Paragraphs 8.27/8.28 Sustainable Travel: we note the aim to increase safe cycling routes and that it is noted that the network of safe routes is fragmented; however, it should also be noted that such access for equestrians is even more fragmented. Therefore, we would like to see the inclusion of equestrians where possible when considering new off-road routes for vulnerable users - after all if a new route is going to be constructed, then why not make it accessible for all? Again, paragraph 8.36 alludes to the safety of cyclists yet no mention is made of equestrians, who face similar road safety issues - with a fatality in the Canewdon area not long ago. The issue of off-road access for all users needs to be embedded within the Local Plan.
