Rights of Way Improvement Plan
The Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) is a 10-year strategic document which is intended to be the prime means by which the council will identify the changes to be made to the local rights of way network to meet the Government's aim of better provision for walkers, cyclists, equestrians, carriage drivers, motor vehicle users and people with mobility problems. It is a wide-ranging plan, covering all aspects of the management and improvement of the network to meet the likely future needs of the public.
The duty to publish a Rights of Way Improvement Plan stems from the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. In drawing up the plan, the council is required to assess the extent to which local rights of way meet the present and likely future needs for the public, the opportunities provided by local rights of way for exercise and other forms of open air recreation and the enjoyment of their area, the accessibility of local rights of way to blind or partially sighted persons and others with mobility problems, and any other matters that the Secretary of State may direct.
