Rights of Way Improvement plan

Buckinghamshire Rights of Way Improvement plan was published in March 2008 and outlines how we intend to manage and improve the Public Rights of Way network over the next 10 years.

The plan was shaped by input from many people during the consultation process. These included the public, user groups; Parish, Town and District Councils; elected Members and the Buckinghamshire Local Access Forum.
The plan sets out an eight-themed approach to improving access and seeks to deliver the wider aims of the Council's Corporate Plan, Local Transport Plan & Community Strategy.

Our aims in brief:
