HORSERIDERS, cyclists and walkers will benefit from £14,000 improvements to a bridleway in Guisborough.

A mile-long stretch of the route, between Margrove Park and the national park, has been cleared, drained and resurfaced and gates and signs were erected.

Julie Fishpool, chairman of Guisborough Bridleways Group, said: "We hope to be able to do more improvements like this in the future and wish to thank everyone who has helped to support this project."

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism, Councillor Dave Fitzpatrick, said: "These improvements mean that people who want to enjoy these kind of pursuits can do it in safety."
