Horse Riding Safety

As part of a project involving horses on the road, Humberside Police are carrying out a pass wide and slow campaign ride along the B1230 between Newport and Gilberdyke to raise awareness for horses using the roads.

On Saturday 23rd November 2024 an event is being planned involving those from the equine community and Newport Parish Council. It is planned to involve local media and the local community. It is also open for people to walk or cycle also.

The event looks at riders split into groups of roughly around 6 riders, depending on numbers, with a safe gap between groups to allow traffic to pass safely also. It will hopefully look at educating everyone on how to pass wide and slow, the impacts an accident or near miss could have and educate that manners and respect is a two way street and aim to make the roads safer for all.

The Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner is also engaged.
