Rights of way improvement plan

Our public rights of way improvement plan aims to increase residents and tourists access to the countryside.

The best way to enjoying and explore the countryside is to use the local rights of way network we maintain.

The 826km network of footpaths, bridleways, cycle paths, and rambling tracks crosses the entire district of North Somerset.

This network of paths lets users enjoy the countryside in safety, as well as prevents damage to the environment.

We work continuously to maintain and improve the condition of this network, but there is always room for improvement.

For several months we have been consulting with the public on how we should improve the rights of way network.

To view the comments we received during the consultation you can download a copy of the summary of comments document.

The comments we received has helped us to develop the Rights of way improvement plan 2007 to 2017.

Copies are available at any of our libraries, or Somerset House in Weston-super-Mare.

For more information on the consultation or any other questions please contact our Access development officer on 01934 426 647 or Fax 01934 426605.
