Campaign with us

The Agriculture Bill - Access Provisions

EBA has been working closely with the BHS on campaigning for increased access to farmland as part of the new Agricultural Policy being drawn up by Government in preparation for the UK's departure from the EU.

We really need your help and support in writing to your MP to raise the issue of the need to increase access to ALL user groups: see link below for a template letter. Please write to your MP (using this template if you wish) as the more people do this, the better awareness our MP's will have when the Bill is drawn up.

Thank you!

Julia Wilson - Chair

Welcome to Essex Bridleways Association. A registered charity set up in 1979 to preserve and develop the Bridleway network in Essex. Run entirely by volunteers, we work tirelessly campaigning and working with the authorities to improve, restore and create a safe riding environment for riders in Essex. Funds raised through our membership and pleasure rides pay to employ a Bridleway Development Officer and Historic Researcher; both help to further our work. We need your support to continue this important work so please join. As Essex becomes ever more developed it is imperative that equestrians are not forgotten and we are making sure this does not happen. The more members we have, the more likely it is that authorities will realise just how passionate we are to continue enjoying our beautiful Essex countryside.
