I WOULD like to back up B Horton's letter about the rubbish on the bridlepath on Bad Bargain Lane and Outgang Lane (April 28).

My friends and I regularly try to horse ride along these paths but often have to give up.

The last time I rode the lane as well as all the rubbish there were approximately 12 gipsy ponies and foals tethered across the track which meant me having to walk my horse over the tethering chains praying the ponies would not move and pull the chain tight under my horse.

There are many horse riders close to this bridlepath (over 30 just where I keep my horse) who would be extremely grateful to use this bridlepath and be able to keep off the roads.

So come on council don't just say it, do something about it.

J Masterson,

Tang Hall Lane,
