Decision:

That the Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2020-2030 be approved and adopted.

Minutes:

The Executive considered a report relating to a proposed Rights of Way Improvement Plan for 2020-2030 which would guide the approach towards improvement of the public rights of way network, including the creation of new routes for both utilitarian use, sustainable transport and leisure.

 

When introducing the report the Executive Member for Environment and Leisure highlighted that the revised Improvement Plan proposes changes to alter a number of approaches set out in the previous Plan; including the fact that there would be greater emphasis on creating multi-use routes instead of cycle routes which would cater for horse riding as well as cycling, delivering improvements for motor vehicle users were appropriate.  In addition proposals to restrict existing vehicle access would be considered along with other options in order to balance the needs of all the users.

 

It was noted that implementation of the Improvement Plan’s proposals were not binding and any actions within the Plan would only be undertaken when the opportunity, funds and resources became available.

 

RESOLVED:  That the Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2020-2030 be approved and adopted.
