Says Tony Barnett

I HAVE READ THE PARAGRAPH ON THE PC NEWS LETTER REGARDING HORSE RIDING ON CHORLEYWOOD COMMON.

THE PARTICULAR POINTS ARE THAT IT IS ALLEGED THAT HORSES ARE CAUSING DISTRESS TO OTHER USERS OF RIGHTS TO LAWFUL ACCESS.

AS THIS COMMON LAND IS A SECTION 45 COMMON, THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS TO ACCESS UNLESS A COURT ORDER MAKES REGULATIONS SUBJECT TO COMPLAINTS.

MAY I ALSO SUGGEST THAT THE "CONCESSIONS" FOR HORSE RIDERS HAS NO PUBLIC LIABILITY,JUST AS THERE IS NO PUBLIC LIABILITY TO THE SPORTS PLAYED ON THE COMMON EVEN IF UNDER 1899 ACT.

THE ENTIRE COMMON LAND IS PUBLIC ACCESS, WHICH IS FOR INDIVIDUALIZE PERSONS TO ACCESS AT RISK, THERE WILL BE NO PUBLIC LIABILITY THEREFORE FOR DOG WALKERS OR CHILDREN.

I WILL DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE 2000 CROW ACT WHERE IT IS PROVIDED FOR UNLAWFUL SIGNAGE, OR OTHER MEANS OF PREVENTING PEACEFUL ENJOYMENT OF COMMON LANDS, ANY ENCLOSURE OR OTHER CONSTRUCTIONS ON COMMON LAND THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS, COMPENSATION WILL BE MET FROM THE PERSONS PLACING THE CONSTRUCTIONS.
