Working Practices

Countryside Service officers, responsible for public rights of way, work according to agreed guidelines or working practices.

The overall approach is outlined in the document “Strategic Statement of Priorities – Public Rights of Way”  (285.52 KB) which explains how different aspects of our work are balanced within the available resources.

The “Prosecutions Policy”  (31.17 KB) describes what factors are considered when deciding whether or not a prosecution should be initiated.

The leaflet “Gaps, Gates and Stiles”  (42.03 KB) has been prepared to help landowners and farmers understand their rights and responsibilities in regard to structures that provide access across field boundaries.
