Is the problem the obstruction of an alleyway with a gate or similar to prevent pedestrian access? This needs to be referred to Countryside Access Team in order to either get the obstruction moved or establish that the route is not a public right of way. Obstruction of vehicular access is usually a matter of private rights or easement and as such is not a matter for the council.
Contact Details
In all cases we must have a name and contact number/e-mail to enable feedback or clarification of the place or problem. We do not disclose information on complainants to landowners etc. If we are unable to find the problem or it is not a public right of way, we want to be able to get back to you.
Definitive Map Locations
There are copies of the Definitive Map in various places in the county, including some libraries, for members of the public to consult. This shows the route of public rights of way but, as it is a paper version, there may have been legal changes since it was published. Contact Countryside Access Team with any queries. |
