The policy should go much further in explaining how the Green Travel Routeis is to be delivered. It should be planned with land acquisition as necessary to create a safe and pleasant route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
The A127 represents a severe block to north-south recreational routes. There is no crossing from Great Warley Road to the East Horndon junction. This limits the value of Thorndon Park as people have to drive to their local Country Park. It also creates a block to recreational users wishing to traverse north-south. To rectify this, at least 2 crossings are needed, the most obvious locations being at Footpath 41 West Horndon to Thorndon Park and Footpath 60 by Friern Manor Wood although in total there are 5 footpaths in Brentwood Borough severed by the A127.
