Joint Rights of Way Improvement Plan

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Authority is required to produce and adopt a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) which details how the public rights of way network will be developed and improved.  The proposed new ROWIP is a 'refresh' of the ROWIP published in 2007.

Decision:

(1) To ADOPT the Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2012-2016.

Reasons for the decision:

The conclusions and proposals set out in the ROWIP 2012-2016 are based on extensive research and consultation. Whilst not all the actions may be achieved with available resources, the approach adopted accords with Government advice. It includes an objective assessment of the current network, of how that matches existing and future users’ needs and a series of actions designed to address identified weaknesses and potential growth areas.

Alternative options considered:

None. Publication of a ROWIP is a statutory requirement.
