Do we have enough clearly marked footpaths, which are well maintained and accessible for all, with good control measures in place for walkers and livestock.

Footpath between Langford and Broughton Poggs. Disclaimer: I haven't walked it for a few years as it is/was such an obstacle course.
From the Langford end, the first gate was so overgrown that you couldn't open it and had to climb over.

paths poorly signed or no signs in places.
field overgrown (was weeds last time I crossed it), I believe a path is mean to be cut through it.
fields with cows protecting their calfs. Too danerous to go through with a dog.
There are a couple of improvements that I would like to see:-
replace the broken down gate that leads out to the A361 (at the the end of the path from the swimming pool, past the new kissing gate in the Hadge ground to the road).
Replace the barbed wire going around the Hadge ground with something that is less dangerous to dogs and small children.
If anyone has anything they would like actioned on footpaths, please let me know and I'll speak to the landowner.
