Horse rider shaken after being charged at by puppy in Farm Wood, Wooburn - amid concerns over professional dog walkers
Farm Wood A horse rider was left “shaken” after being “charged at” by a puppy on a bridleway through a popular woodland – prompting concerns about the number of professional walkers with “packs of dogs” using it. The issue of professional dog-walkers using Farm Wood in Wooburn has surfaced many times before, but one horse rider says she has now witnessed the problem first-hand and has suggested warning posters need to be put up. Writing to Wooburn and Bourne End Parish Council about the distressing incident, Alison Cheetham said on May 26, she encountered a group of people with six dogs on the bridleway.
Bourne End homeowner s plan to take public grass verge into their own garden in Harvest Hill prompts outrage
This is the grass verge in question A homeowner’s plans to take part of a grass verge into their own garden has been criticised by neighbours and the parish council. The owners of a house in Harvest Hill, Bourne End, want to turn the existing grass highway verge close to their property into a residential wildlife garden. They argue that the verge “serves little purpose” and by allowing them to take it into their garden, they would be improving it. Back in 2018, Wycombe District Council gave the homeowners’ permission to take the verge, except for 2.4 metres from the edge of the road so that visibility is not affected - but now a ‘stopping up’ order needs to be approved by the Department for Transport.
