Rights Of Way Improvement Plan

Under the Countryside and Rights Of Way Act 2000, every local highway authority must prepare a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) that must show
 
  • The extent to which local rights of way meet the present and likely needs of the public.
  • The opportunities provided by local rights of way for exercise and other forms of open-air recreation and the enjoyment of the authority’s area.
  • The accessibility of local rights of way to blind or partially sighted persons and others with mobility problems.
 
Our ROWIP was published in November 2007.
