A dispute over a public footpath passing through the garden of a privately owned home continues after a court case. According to local reports, residents say the couple who own the property have rehung at least one barrier after previously facing legal action requiring the reopening of the route. The owners, identified in coverage as David Moore and his wife Dawn, have disputed the approach taken by walkers, with reports stating they accuse ramblers of trespassing. Coverage also describes renewed frustration among villagers following the rehanging of the gate. Sources say the owners have spent substantial sums—reported as up to £400,000—on legal costs and related efforts connected to the dispute. While outlets frame the situation differently, they broadly agree that there is an ongoing back-and-forth over access to the bridleway/footpath through the property, following a prior legal ruling. The case centers on whether the public route is kept open and how barriers are managed, with residents seeking enforcement and the owners arguing for their preferred interpretation of access and conduct.
