Great Cantel, Llanbister. (SO 153 728) A muck-spreader, with wheels removed, has been wedged close behind a gate on County Road F152 to obstruct ALL user types.
Looks a nice lane. A closer look shows the obstructions (Click on photo)
Barbed wire and staples keep this gate closed against all users of this byway at Mason's bank in Shropshire. See what the courts have said.
A substantial fence prevents use of the correct route of this byway at Mainstone, Shrops.
A dumped car prevents use of a Byway at Madely.
A Council installed bridleway gate on a 'permissive footpath (a National Trail)' on a Public Carriage Road is padlocked shut.
The BOAT is 15 foot wide along the flat top of this grassy slope. Years of reporting failed to get the hedge cut back. Westhope, Herefordshire.
Not the sort of exercise one expects on a byway. Wheelchair users find this even more challenging!
The BOAT should be just to the right of the tree. It is 100% obstructed, and has been for many years. Overton, Shrops.
A slippery, rounded-side-up stile step, with no top bar, just a painful barbed wire fence if you slip off the step!!! And this on a carriageway! Whose insurance policy will cover this? Powys CC wrote to the Landholder instructing them to remove all the obstructions in 1991. 0/10 for enforcement, Powys!
