Access ... Rights of Way .... What about access to and along water???

Please be advised that from the 14 May 2012 Defra launched a public consultation on a proposed package of changes to the processes for recording, diverting and extinguishing public rights of way.

A copy of the consultation paper, supporting documents and a response pro-forma can be viewed and downloaded at: www.defra.gov.uk/consult/2012/05/14/improve-rights-of-way/. The consultation runs until 6 August 2012 and is likely to be of relevance to all people who have an interest in public rights of way in England.

We welcome your views on our proposals as your feedback will be used to inform Government decisions on whether and how to implement the various proposals for improvement.
