IP reported that the motorbike signs had still not been put up but they are in the system.

IP has found that the route of the bridleway through the chicken farm runs down the house side of the road where waggons are parking.  David Chadwick is looking into this.

Builders at Lowes Park want to temporarily close bridlepath number 37 in order to install gas and electricity.  A timescale needs to be included.

Route around Chesham Woods – need to ask at the next meeting for anyone interested in this to fill in an evidence form.

IP had asked Simister & Prestwich Bridleways if they want to join us.  BB and PT felt that would make our area too big.  PT suggested having a vote.  It was agreed to wait and see what happened at their AGM on 19th April.
