Broadly support.
Equestrian access on public rights of way should be protected and new multi-user routes should include equestrians who are also entitled to enjoy outdoor recreation and leisure. 67% of equestrians are women and girls (Beta, 2019) and those in the over 45 years of age group are unlikely to undertake any other type of physical activity (Church 2010).
Waterways provide opportunities for multi-user routes including equestrians, of which there are successful examples in other authority areas.
