Cutts Close Oakham Town Council foot path Closure.

Cutts Close Oakham Town Council foot path Closure.


Letter sent to Rutland County Council, Rights of Way.


Dear Sir/Madam

Rutland County Council Rights of Way, Re: Cutts Close Oakham

Last week Oakham Town Council erected barriers to close a well used footpath in Cutts Close.
This was done for safety reasons.

A lot of the public are ignoring this closure, because they don't  feel the danger is that great, even when pushing a child in a push chair they make it to the end of the path, they then find  most difficult part is negotiating around the barrier.

It is likely the council will or has decided to remove this well used path because this would be cheaper than repair.

Is there is any legislation that protects this footpath as a right of way and would therefore ensure the council reinstates the path which has been used and enjoyed by the public over many years?
