New cycle paths through grounds of historic abbey will restrict “unfettered access” for dogs and horses, says councillor “Cyclists and dogs could cause accidents when not in control”, the councillor claimed cycling
Plans to create new cycling, wheeling, and walking paths through the grounds of a 12th-century abbey, which the local council hopes will boost active travel provision for commuters and improve the health and wellbeing of residents, has been criticised by an independent councillor, who says encouraging cyclists to use the park will restrict the activities of dog walkers and horse riders.
The local authority hopes the paths and new facilities will support economic activity in Northampton by increasing the labour market which can access employment, as well as improving public health and air quality in the area by encouraging people to leave their cars behind. “It’s always sad to see dogs having to be on leads in a park, they need to be able to enjoy unfettered access to the park. Horses ride there also and I’m sure cyclists could restrict their walks.”
