Representation Summary:

Ensuring footpaths and bridlebays in use have right of way status and are fit for purpose should encourage children to walk to school and adults for recreation or access.
further thought must be given to the surfaces for buggies and wheelchairs as well as bikes to ensure safety and access.

We need to consider making some of our roads safer for children to travel to school.
We need to create cycle routes as well as pedestrian walking paths.
Many of the footpaths and bridle paths in Ashingdon through the woods are overgrown. Not all footpaths are public rights of way, some exist such as the one between Ashingdon Heights and Stanely road or Stanley Road and the Chase - but have no status. some such as the footpath between cliftomn and Stanley road were blocked by a developer.
Ensuring all foopaths in use are logged for right of way is essential.
Utising gravel and stone - perhaps even tarmac is needed to allow disbaled access such as around the perimeter of KIng georges Fields ashingdon in the same way it happens in other open spaces would also help.
