Then put the lock back on. Now.
Live with that as the hassle. Not militant ramblers, or 23 caravans leaving trails of gas cylinders behind them.

And you're worried about upsetting him? Explain, if it comes to it, that you've been advised to lock gates to protect your land, the environment, prevent criminal activity, encourage use of footpaths and safeguard any livestock. If a councillor wishes to argue with any of those...
'Course it also means another corridor full of dog poo.
And all the nasties that come with it
We have a footpath that runs through every field & in actual fact it should run through the neighbours yard & then back onto ours, but we just allow them to proceed on our side to save having two crossing points.
...but if I ever find out who vandalised the fence with their ****** wirecutters, I'll go round & cut through their tyres & see how they like the extra cost & inconvenience of replacing things unecessarily When you are working to improve paths & access it can be very disheartening to find some people out there who seem to enjoy leaving gates open & fences down, for no other reason than laziness.
