'Thoughtless horse riders' damage Bilton boardwalk
Bilton Conservation Group has criticised horse riders for damaging a boardwalk in Nidd Gorge.
The group, whose responsibilities include repairing footpaths and boardwalks, has urged dog walkers to avoid the area until repairs are complete.
George Moore, membership secretary of the group, said a witness saw horses crossing the boardwalk on the cross path intersection of Milne's Lane. He added:
The group, which was set up in 1982 to protect the rural environment of Bilton, hopes to complete the repairs next week.
They are predicted to cost £50 and require 20 hours of work.
In the meantime the group has asked walkers to be wary in the vicinity.
