Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2018-28

Published: 17/06/2019

Flintshire County Council’s Cabinet approved the Rights of Way Improvement Plan and Policy & Procedures booklet.

All Local Highway Authorities must produce a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) for a 10 year period. This second ROWIP assesses the 2018 network and evaluates progress made since 2008. The current (2018) policy context is examined, priority areas are identified and a new-style Statement of Action proposed.

This final draft has been amended following a statutory three month consultation and focuses on three main sections; evaluation of the previous plan; assessment of the current network condition and; statement of action going forward over the life of the plan.

Flintshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Streetscene and Countryside, Councillor Carolyn Thomas, said:

“I welcome the completion of this plan and thank everyone who contributed to the consultation, enabling us to deliver a modern rights of way network for communities in Flintshire. As a result of the first Plan, we have a Policy and Procedure booklet which will ensure widespread understanding and transparency about what Flintshire County Council does and how it does it.”
