Backbury Hill, Mordiford

“Back in 2010 Herefordshire Council made an order to register a footpath over Backbury Hill in Mordiford, with much of the user evidence being equestrian. I (Peter McKay) objected considering that with equestrian user evidence it ought be a bridleway, and the order has at long last been sent to PIN’s to be determined. The initial equestrian user evidence was gathered by Parish Council in the early 1990’s, and I enquire if anyone used to ride over Backbury Hill and would support this objection by providing a written statement saying they used to ride, or knows of anyone who did who may support the objection, seeking its registration as a bridleway?”
Update from Peter McKay, 10th January 2016:
“This has now got to the Planning Inspectorate stage, and it would be helpful if any who rode over Backbury Hill back in the 1990’s were to write to The Planning Inspectorate, 3/25 Hawk Wing, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Bristol, BS1 6PN quoting reference FPS/W1850/7/11 saying so, and saying this ought be recorded as bridleway, not footpath, by the 26th of January.”
