Campaign to tackle Piddle Path accessibility problem

Available for over a year

Campaigners in the Piddle Valley are ramping up pressure to improve the accessibilty of a bridleway that links the communities of Piddlehinton, White Lackington and Piddletrenthide. The three settlements are linked by the B3143 - a busy narrow road with no footpaths, meaning it's dangerous for pedestrians. But the rural path which is an alternative option, is often impassable in the winter. A project to improve the bridleway originally stalled because of a lack of finance. Now, residents are rallying to get the path back on track. BBC Radio Solent reporter Laurence Herdman met residents and campaigners.
