Rights of Way Improvement Plan (RoWIP) engagement exercise
Public Rights of Way can be found in towns, villages and the countryside.
Have Your Say on the future of º£½Ç»»ÆÞ’s Public Rights of Way
We’re reviewing º£½Ç»»ÆÞ’s Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) and we want your input to help shape its future.
Our public rights of way network, including footpaths, bridleways, and byways, is a valuable asset that connects communities, supports health and wellbeing, and offers access to the stunning º£½Ç»»ÆÞ countryside. We’re updating our plan to ensure it continues to meet the needs of residents now and in the years to come.
Your feedback will play a key role in setting the priorities and actions in the new ROWIP. Whether you walk your dog on a local footpath, cycle along a bridleway, or use a route to get to work or school, your voice matters.
We’re inviting residents, landowners, community groups, parish councils, and all users of public rights of way to take a few minutes to complete our short survey and share your thoughts.

Survey closes at midnight on 26 October 2025.
Every council in England is required to have a Rights of Way Improvement Plan. It’s a key strategy that helps us manage and improve these routes for everyone’s benefit.
A public right of way (PROW) is a route the public can legally use at any time. All PROWs are open to walkers, with some also accessible to cyclists, horse riders, or motorists, depending on the classification.
