Denbighshire Rights of Way Improvement Plan Assessment Report 2008

you might get more response if you included a brief summary of what people were going to be looking at and any possible affects it might have on them

as it is it just appears to be fairly tedius .gov site and people just wont read much more than the first few sentences

Dear Sir / Madam
Under the Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Act 2000 each local highway
authority, such as Denbighshire County Council, is required to prepare a
Rights of Way Improvement Plan (RoWIP). The RoWIP will be the principal
means by which each authority will indicate its priorities and plans that
it intends to pursue to improve the rights of way network over the next 10
years.
The plan is prepared in three stages, an assessment report, a draft
improvement plan and then a final RoWIP. In preparing the plan we have been
required to assess;
The extent to which the local rights of way network meet the present
and likely future needs of the public.
The opportunities for recreational purposes made available by
countryside access.
The accessibility of the rights of way network for those with
disability or mobility problems.
The county has undertaken its assessment during 2006 – 7 and has now
prepared a report it is making available for public consideration and is
now available online at:
English:
Welcome to Denbighshire County Council - Public Consultations
Welsh
Croeso i Gyngor Sir Ddinbych - Ymgynghoriad
Please contact the Rights of Way Unit on the above number if you have any
difficulty accessing the online document. Hard copies will available for
public inspection at council offices in Ruthin and Denbigh and at the 8
county libraries.

No doubt the council tax payers are worst off having spent thousands on "report" which claims a "survey" no one seems to have heard about.

No doubt they asked a few ramblers and posh knob horse riders leading questions and left us out.

As for advertising the survey well the so called council mag or council properganger "the council voice" is only ever seen in a few doctors and denstists surgerys, no wonder only a few bothered to reply. Rest of us had no chance !

Actually having just had a quick scope thru it. It is quite supportive of vehicular use and whilst it does mention the problem of unlawful offroading it only mentions motorcycles as culprits.

reet then, seen as this is my manor, ive just spent the last half an hour reading this. its actually quite interesting.it seems my local council dont really havbe too much bother with ilegal off roading as there is a large fraternity of people that treat the lanes the correct way(me beig one of them). to be honest, i actually filled out the questionaire in our council paper and i was quite worried about what the outcome would be. however, it seems that we are going to be alright. i am aware of a few groups that try to put the kaibosh on the use of gren lanes locally but as long as you stick to the law then there is nothing they can do about it.

I have always found Denbighshire and for that matter Wrexham to have good ROW depts. Shame the same can't be said for Powys!!

Most interesting and me too living in your manor, but its the first I've heard about, but you you mind me asking a question, how do you get hold of this council paper ?, do you have to order it? pay extra for it? or was it just sitting in a doc's surgrey and the questionare inside it.

I've read it took me a lot longer few inaccurate statements, routes, on the whole you right not too bad.

I've been told area too big and too little population to support properly a row office.

I've also been told or a rumour that quite a few def maps are missing or too old to look at, or even don't exist, the parish councils did'nt pass everything on during all the reorgs over the years.

Have you actually ever seen one ?

i have the paper delivered by the council, a few years ago they sent a form around asking for people to form a peoples panel. all about dicussing local issues, so, being the fookin busy bodied, self opinionted bastid that i am, i decided to sign up.to be honest, its usually a load of old bollocks about parkin on the pavement or should we have wheelie bins etc, but i was quite interested when the rights of way questionaire was in there. it normally ends up on the bottom of the parrots cage, but i can keep it fer ya if yer like.

you are right in what you say about the lost paperwork since the abolition of the clwyd council. to be honest though, denbighshire are pretty good. i think flintshire are a poor example though

Thanks mate but i think I know the mag in question some council voice which i can get my hands on at the Doc's surgery since often have to wait half the day to get a 2 minuite appointment, plus often go to relatives who have them lieing around.

Seems there was two surveys short one in the mag and one for those in the know.
