All vehicles, cyclists and horse riders will be prohibited from proceeding along Unnamed Lane, Long Crichel between Lower Farm and The Lodge, a distance of approximately 430 metres. The Notice is needed in order to comply with health and safety regulations which require the provision of safe working areas and to minimise likelihood of danger to highway users.
