Rights of Way Improvement Plan

Worcestershire County Council is currently in the process of producing a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP), which will influence the improvements on footpaths, bridleways and byways for people to walk, ride, or cycle in the county over the next 10 years at a strategic level.

The ROWIP is a strategic assessment of the adequacy of the rights of way network to meet current and future demand (for walking, cycling and riding for recreational or utilitarian purposes) and will provide strategic aims and objectives for the development and management of the network in the future. Although the ROWIP is focused on public rights of way, it is also concerned with the adequacy of other tracts of land that the public might use to complete their walk, cycle or ride (e.g. canal towpath or public open space) insofar as those tracts of land contribute to a wider network of routes available for walking, cycling or riding.

The plan will be published in April 2007.
