20/05/2020 | N29 &N10 | 3 &16 | The stile has gone leaving a horizontal bar about a metre or 1.25m high. too high to step over but awkward to crawl under unless you are young and supple.at junction of N29/3 and N10/16 | MNT47665 | Resident has contacted the Ranger Service | |
20/05/2020 | N20 | 11 | Here there is stile 1 down onto a bridge then up to stile 2, bridge seems OK but both stiles are broken and seem to be risky, I did not try them. N20/11 maybe outside our jurisdiction? | MNT47681 | Resident has contacted the Ranger Service | |
06/07/2020 | N34 | 15 | I tried to walk down Whittles Lane to see the diversion Ian Buckland had made, sadly I didn`t get very far as a small tree was down and then a large tree, but what was more worrying was what was under foot. smelly liquid. yes it had been raining but not that much. | MNT4858 | ||
19/09/2020 | N34 & N34 | 22 & 1 | Just where N34/22 meets N34/21 and just before the bridge over the Wriggle, the stumps supporting the step at the stile have rotted. | 20200930/1145 | Referred to Range Service | |
04/10/2020 | N29 | As an update on that footpath I emailed you about, yesterday it was in good condition – the landowner has driven a wheeled vehicle along it which has helped. It’s a good start and probably means that it will be kept clear. Of course, it will get very muddy but the same goes for many of our footpaths | ||||
N34 | 28 | The bridleway N34/28, near the junctions with N31/12 and N31/10, is deeply rutted and after 1 day of rain very flooded. The ditches beside the bridleway have not been cleared for a long time meaning the rainwater cannot drain away. I have reported the problem to Dorset Council via online, refernce MNT49860, and also spoken to a Dorset Countryside Ranger who was in the lane. | MNT49860 | |||
08/11/2021 | N34/1 | Old metal gate used as style very wobbly and becoming unscrewed. Step rotting | MNT50031 | Gate removed and new stile installed in its place | ||
23/04/2020 | N34/1 | A new stile has been built but it has problems. the cross-member is too high, one side of it is too short and there is a height to step over. it is not good bearing in mind this is a well used walk by many senior members of the village. why was the opportunity to put in a gate not taken? | MNT47294 | Dave Ackerley on 02/02/2021 – Stile is too high at 120cm and needs second step the low side is 105 mm – need to contact owner | Reported | |
