THIS is the moment Thundersley villagers came together to help carve out a new public bridle path.

The new right-of-way, suitable for ramblers and horseriders alike, is situated at Chesterfield Avenue, leading to St Peter’s Church, in Church Road. Gordon Sinclair, who spearheaded the campaign, said: “It now has been recognised as a public bridle path. The process of achieving it has been hard work, but it is now our public right of way.”
