Rights of Way: Registration
(asked on 24th February 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have made any decisions about extending the 2026 deadline for registering historic rights of way; and if not, when they expect to make such a decision.
This question was answered on 2nd March 2020
The Government recognises the need for sufficient time to register public rights of way before the cut-off date. Stakeholder views on whether there is a need to extend the deadline are mixed and will be taken into account, although no decision has yet been taken. We intend to consult the Stakeholder Working Group on rights of way reform before we make a decision.
