UPDATE 3: Wednesday 10th May.

We are pleased to inform you that we are at last getting somewhere with this project.
We were informed at a meeting last week with Wigan Council Officers, Al and Al Creative Directors of Haigh Hall, and Keith Bergman the Manager of Haigh Woodland Park that discussions have taken place with the Rights of Way Officer and early progress has been made to finally get this up and running.
It was agreed that we will have a joint working group meeting with representatives from interested parties: Haigh Parish Council, Haigh Hall Heritage Matters (formerly Friends of Haigh Hall Heritage and Open Access for All), Al and Al and the Haigh Horse-riding Community.
The meeting has been arranged for Saturday 13th May, and will be in the form of a 'walking meeting' within the plantations, looking at a possible route.
We will keep you updated on further progress.

UPDATE 2: Sunday 12th March

Good News. The FB group Haigh Hall Matters (formerly Friends of Haigh Hall Heritage and Open Access for All) are supporting this and have scheduled it for discussion at their monthly meeting with Wigan Council Officers and Directors tomorrow.

Latest Update on the Bridleway for Haigh Project

A Teams meeting between Haigh Parish Council and Wigan Council Officers took place virtually on 13th December, when the Bridleway For Haigh project was raised and well received.
A detailed report written by the Haigh Parish Community working group, for consideration by the officers was submitted to Wigan Council after the meeting, and then distributed by the Director to the team currently responsible for the management of Haigh Country Park.

Unfortunately, the wheels of progress seem to turn very slowly in local government and we still await to hear the outcome of the meeting.

Lots of horse riders have put forward some good suggestions, ideas, and reasons why there is an urgent need for this to be addressed.

Haigh Parish Council will continue to keep the Haigh communities informed and as soon as a response is received we can move the project forward.

We're excited to be introducing our new Vocaleyes platform at our workshop this coming Monday, February 27th at Rhossili Village Hall.

This will be a lively workshop for residents who want to have a direct input into making decisions in the community, about the community. We will show you how to use our new Vocaleyes system to enable you to respond directly to questions put by Rhossili Community Council and Rhossili Village Hall. Share your ideas, tap into your creative side and have your say!

Please bring a charged smartphone, tablet or laptop. It would be really helpful if you could register with the Vocaleyes site above, ahead of the session.

**Free refreshments (not just biscuits this time!) from 6.45pm for 7pm start.**

Thank you to all those who have given their approval and offers of support to this project.
The public reaction to this idea has been wonderful to see, and the passion and commitment shines through in all the horse riders' comments.
These will be very useful in gathering evidence to show to Wigan Council that there is an urgent need to address the issues sooner rather than later.
An email has been sent out to everyone who expressed an interest in getting involved, inviting them along to a Zoom meeting on Tuesday 29th November at 7pm.

The agenda is as follows:

To establish the aims of the working group by gathering evidence from horse riders to show if there is an urgent need for a joined up bridleway in Haigh.

Objectives:
Use an OS Map of the area on a shared screen to discuss the following questions: (The bridleways are the large green dashed lines, small ones are footpaths)
What is the current situation?
Has it changed from the past situation? If so, how has it changed?
Do you feel safe riding in Haigh? Are there any dangers? If so, how can these be addressed?
What would you like to see change, and where?
Can you identify a potential route for a joined up bridleway?

Next steps:
To take the findings of this meeting to Wigan Council with a view to setting up a joint working group with a balance of members.

If you would like to get involved, its not too late, just click you'd like to get involved and I will get back to you with details.
