Speak out on 10-year plan for rights of way in Powys
People who enjoy Powys’ rights of way network or help to maintain it have a few weeks left to give their views on a new draft 10-year improvement plan.
The document sets out a range of actions that the council’s countryside services team and other partners like town and community councils and volunteers will endeavour to tackle over the next 10 years to not only maintain, but also improve the network for all who use it.
Councillor Aled Davies, deputy leader and cabinet member for countryside services, said: “Powys is a beautiful county with an extensive rights of way network which opens up parts of our county to all who love the countryside.
“From horse-riding to mountain-biking, family walks to trail running, our network offers something very special to anyone who wishes to discover what nature and being outside can do for their mental health and wellbeing.
“Although resources are tight we have set out a plan which will allow us to sustain the network for all our residents and our hundreds of visitors who flock to Powys every year.
“Before we approve it we’d like residents to have a final say on it by completing our survey.”
Residents can make their comments on the plan by going to powys.gov.uk/haveyoursay and following the links to the Rights of Way Improvement Plan Survey.
Under the legislation the consultation has to run for 12 weeks and closes on Tuesday, January 15.
