Investigating
Lack of warning signs
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7902098.
There are a number of bridleways that end/start on the A508 yet I have not seen one sign to indicate to motorists that horse riders are using this road to access them. Please be aware that there is a large & smaller livery yard in Puxley along with yards in Yardley Gobion & Potterspury who which to have safer access to these bridleways. Now that motorists have to slow down & give way to the vulnerable road user it is only fitting they are given warning of our existence. Unless of course that is the strategy to restrict us from accessing the bridleways.
