Improvement Plan Review
Our improvement plan review has now started and we are seeking your views.
Every council responsible for public rights of way must have a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP). This sets out how public rights of way meet the needs of the public, now and in the future.
Our current Rights of Way Improvement Plan dates from 2007 and needs to be reviewed. The new plan will be called the Rights of Way Access Plan.
The first stage of this review is asking for your views about the public rights of way network in East Sussex.
Our Rights of Way Access Plan Public Survey runs from 17th January until 14th March 2025.
If you use public rights of way, we’d like to know about your experience and how important they are for you. If you don’t use public rights of way, we’d like to know what prevents you and what we can do to help you access our path network.
Your feedback will help to develop the priorities and actions of the new Rights of Way Access Plan. The Plan will be produced in 2025. Once finalised and approved by the council, it will be published on East Sussex County Council’s website.
The process of producing the new Rights of Way Access Plan is being supported by an external consultant. If you need to discuss the process please contact esccrowap@blackwoodbayne.co.uk .
Alternatively, please contact East Sussex County Council at ESCCRoWAP@eastsussex.gov.uk or on 0345 60 80 193.
This survey is to support the Rights of Way Access Plan only. Please contact us separately to report a problem with a right of way.
