Public Rights of way
Has anyone read mr Foys latest posting re spire farm . He is stating that no one can walk on the public right of way on his land with a dog. Does anyone know the legal side to this

Re: Public Rights of way
Get in touch with Lancashire Countryside Service who I used to work for. As far as I am aware you are allowed to take your dog on any right of way as long as it is under close control. If your dog wanders on the land then that is trespass so it's best to keep it on a lead when walking through property just to be safe.
From memory certain parts may be subject to wildlife restrictions during some parts of the year but otherwise you should be o.k. |
Re: Public Rights of way
The link that I posted gives the details of the authorities to complain to if public right of way is blocked/impeded in any way.

If the gated footpath is HBC and they've blocked it then I don't think there's 'owt we can do; if however, it has been blocked by someone else without planning permissi ison, then the council needs to be informed. I can see the reason for blocking an unsafe footpath. |

Re: Public Rights of way
Initially the Rhyddings st / Stonebridge lane path was an unofficial right of way, but had been used as one, unchallenged for many years.
Once it had been fenced off by (I think – a double glazing firm) then action was taken. With the help of the Civic society and affidavits it was made a public right of way. This is when the gates were put on. After a fire (not the most recent on) the council “temporary” blocked the path saying that the surrounding building was unsafe. Is it still unsafe??? |

Which Council do you mean - I assume LCC because HBC would have to apply to LCC for a temporary closure. I far as I can see whats left of the mill is not safe, the chimney was taken down some months ago. |
