Portstewart Golf Clubs could not be faulted and although we were in somewhat of a priviledged position, playing a team match between the golfing scribes of Northern Ireland - A Golfing Paradise Yorkshire and our counterparts from the Belfast press the reaction of others from the mainland to the golfing delights of County Antrim confirmed similar feelings. The Northern Ireland Tourist Board have what must be one of the hardest jobs in the world to convince people that Ireland is the place to go for a golfing holiday. What must be even more frustrating, is the fact, they have a product that is quite superb.

  • A Study of Horse-Human Interactions on UK Roads and Impacts on Equine Exercise
    animals Article Public Roads as Places of Interspecies Conflict: A Study of Horse-Human Interactions on UK Roads and Impacts on Equine Exercise Danica Pollard 1,* and Tamzin Furtado 2 1 Safety Department, The British Horse Society, Abbey Park, Stareton, Kenilworth, Warwickshire CV8 2XZ, UK 2 Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences, University of Liverpool, Leahurst Campus, Neston CH64 7TE, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-2476-840516 Simple Summary: The risk posed by traffic likely impacts equestrians’ decisions around road use, potentially limiting or preventing exercise sessions. This study identifies how frequently equestrians use roads and what impacts their ability to do so. Over 6000 UK equestrians completed an online questionnaire about their exercise behaviours, road use and experiences of road-related incidents. Most equestrians use roads regularly. In the previous year, 68% of equestrians experienced a near- miss and 6% an injury-causing incident. Our results found that regional differences in road use and near-miss experiences coincided with off-road route availability. Road use was associated with the proximity of off-road routes, and road-using equestrians covered longer distances. Near-misses were associated with increasing frequency of weekly road use. Younger equestrians were more likely to use roads, but also to experience near-misses. Injury-causing incidents were associated with increasing road-use anxiety or ceasing to use roads (due to strong feelings of danger, compromised safety and conflict with other road users), the proximity of off-road routes, having a near-miss and Citation: Pollard, D.; Furtado, T.

  • Phase 1 of HS2 May 2013
    Appendix A WCC consultation response for the Draft ES; Phase 1 of HS2 May 2013 Introduction Warwickshire County Council (WCC) has tried where possible to approach the commentary in this response logically and methodically. Where possible, comments have been referenced to the volume and section of the documentation they relate to. This approach has not been possible throughout the whole consultation response because in some areas e.g. Health, the draft ES makes no reference to the impact on health or the possible effects on communities. There is also no clear indication at this stage what methodology may be adopted in the full ES. In this instance WCC has provided both an overarching commentary on the value of a Health Impact Assessment and copy of a pro forma used within Warwickshire to aid HS2 Ltd in the production of a more robust report for the full ES. A similar approach has been taken in the areas of Ecology, Heritage and Traffic Assessment because the current content of the information from HS2 Ltd in volumes, 1, 27 and the Community Forum Reports is considered to be of such poor quality and lacking in empirical data as to be impossible to comment meaningfully. Furthermore, there are a number of material inaccuracies and omissions in the documents, where these occur the Council have picked them up in their comments and requested clarification or amendment as required. The terminology use in the report is in parts at best unclear and in places misleading. The repeated use of terms such as “low”, “medium,” “high” and “only local impact” (see page 27 of this report for specific examples on PROW) without any quantitative explanation in either the text or an accompanying appendix can lead the reader to either down play the impact being described or give the impression that HS2 Ltd.
