Rights of Way Improvement Plan

The Tyne and Wear Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2011 - 2021 is a blueprint for improving the network of public rights of way across Tyne and Wear.

The main aims of the Plan are to:

* Consider the present and future needs of the general public and users
* Look at the need for exercise, recreation and enjoyment of the countryside, and access to the countryside
* To consider the accessibility needs of visually and mobility-impaired people, both now and in the future.

The Plan, which includes a Statement of Action, has been produced by  the Rights of Way Officers from each authority and officers from the Local Transport Plan Core Team for Tyne and Wear.  A wide consultation process received positive responses from members of the public, users and landowners.
