As we reported last June, the top of Old Shire Lane from Piggy Lane to Philipshill Wood has been so damaged by vehicles that it’s often impassable for walkers without wellies after rain – deeply flooded from hedge to hedge. It’s a bridleway with motorised vehicles not allowed, but the signs are hard to see and / or ignored.

We’re pleased to say a restoration plan for the bridleway and its junction with Piggy Lane was agreed after our on-site meeting with Herts County Council (HCC), TRDC and Chorleywood Parish Council. HCC has now authorised the works to restore the surface, starting in early February.

Our thanks to HCC and all the councils, who have worked together to make our bridleway useable again!
