Grass Verges at the entrance to Colne Orchard and Holmsdale Closec

Reported via mobile in the Footpath / pavement problem category anonymously at 16:12, Wednesday 4 June 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7662458.

Another horse is tethered on the council grass verges. The grass is churned up and covered in animal faces. It's not acceptable that council land is being used for fly grazing horses should be kept in proper fields with stables or shelter. Sometimes the horse is standing on the public footpath. Why are the council not dealing with this ongoing issue for the horses welfare.
