West Sussex ROW Management Plan.
Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2017 8:35 pm
Greetings folks,
West Sussex is seeking opinions on their draft ROW Management plan and say:
"Anyone with an interest in accessing the countryside is encouraged to express their views.
Deborah Urquhart, Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “We want to hear people’s opinions, whether they are someone who simply enjoys rural walks, or are a landowner or another stakeholder. All responses will be considered and the document will be amended as appropriate before publication in 2018.”
The council manages more than 4,000km, or 2,500 miles, of Public Rights of Way, such as footpaths, bridleways and byways. The draft plan sets out its approach to managing the network, as well as signposting how improvements can be achieved over the next 10 years.
The council’s vision for Public Rights of Way is: “to enable people to enjoy the countryside on foot, by bicycle and by horse, for health, recreation and to access services, while recognising the need to balance this with the interests of those who live and work in the countryside and the management of special landscapes”".
Pity is that they seem to have forgotten to include we lowly motorists who use the BOATS and UCHs in their list of users, is this by accident or is it discriminatory?

At least on this website I do not need to ask folks please to remember to be respectful in your responses.
