15 Mar 10 - Bridleway saved in Essendon!

We're delighted to report that the order to record bridleway Essendon 4 has been confirmed by an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State. There had been one objector, but the Inspector agreed with the BHS and the County Council, and has confirmed the order.

This path was recorded thanks to historical evidence from the BHS, and with user evidence collected by the North Mymms Riding Club. The County Council processed this application quickly because of the value to riders of the link. We refer to the route as "saved" because routes like this one that are not recorded on the definitive map of rights of way by 1 Jan 2026 are extinguished by virtue of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
