That a full public consultation be undertaken on the Draft Revised Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2020/2030.

The Executive considered a report relating to a proposal to undertake a full public consultation on the Draft Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2020-2030 (ROWIP) which the Council had a duty to prepare and update every 10 years; with the previous Plan being produced in 2010.

The Executive Member for Environment and Leisure introduced the report and advised Members that the consultation was due to start around 4 July for a period of 12 weeks.  It was noted that some of the public rights of way had not yet been discussed with the relevant owners of the land. 

Councillor Haitham Taylor was pleased to note that her suggestion of including local visually impaired user groups in the list of consultees had been taken up as she felt that it was really important to try and get more residents who were visually impaired to be able to access new pathways and footways so that they could partake in a more healthy lifestyle wherever possible.

RESOLVED:  That a full public consultation be undertaken on the Draft Revised Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2020/2030.
