I have received another complaint about horses and the mess they leave in the village:
Can nothing be done about the horse riders using the village roads and failing to clean up after their horses?
On several occasions in the past few weeks I have cleaned up their mess rather than risk the numerous children on the beach and approach roads getting covered in horse poo.
A rather irresponsible attitude on the part of those who should know better.
Best regards
Bryan Griffin
If you have any comments about this issue please add them. This is the second email complaint I have had but there have been other verbal ones.

Updated - Horses on beach complaint
Below is a copy of an email I have received;
Please can you do something to get the schooling of horses on the beach stopped.
I went to your beach last Saturday with my 2 young grandchildren, and was horrified to find a trail of horse dung across the path leading down to and in various places on the beach.
I'm told this is a regular thing - but if dogs are banned to avoid problems with them fouling the beach then so should the same rule apply to the horses.
I have brought the problem to the attention of the Penwith Council and hope together you can control the obvious health and safety risk which you appear to condone at present.

Please feel free to add your comments to this issue. I have heard similar complaints myself mainly with regard to the possible danger of such a powerful animal being exercised where children are playing.
Update:
Herewith the reply I've received from Penwith. As suggested maybe your local community officials should contact the Health & Safety Officer to supply the horse owners name, who I was told had their stables in Perranuthnoe.

Dear Mr McCarthy
Thank you for your comments. At present there is no legislation that bans horses from beaches in Penwith at any time of the year. It is not something that I would have any control over, but if you are able to provide details of the owner of the horse I can pass the information on to a Health and Safety Officer in case they are able to look into the matter.
Kind regards
