Fly tipping 3/18/2016 12:03 AM 4 Dog attacks on horses. In particular @ nesscliffe 3/16/2016 9:54 AM 5 Car traffic detracts from the use of countryside - cars are very speedy compared with a pedestrian and come round a 3/9/2016 4:29 PM bend suddenly 'from nowhere'. The lack of buses into country areas on Sundays and bank holidays is a source of frustration. Open Gardens scheme gardens are only open on those days! In town (Shrewsbury) I would use my bike much more if I felt safe to do so - there are almost no cycle lanes that are wide enough and none that go the full route of where I want to go. Young people would be much more independent if they had safe cycle routes to parks across town. Something else that detracts are dogs that are not under control - they rush at me, even if they veer away at the last minute one doesn't know whether it's vicious or not. And those on leads are often on ones 12 or more feet long so the dogs can still roam into my personal space. 6 Some landowners/ tenants don't like people using the footpaths. 3/2/2016 3:32 PM 7 Footpaths that have not been maintained e.g. Muddy areas making it difficult to follow the path.
