Public Rights of Way

 

There are approximately 250 kilometres of Public Rights of Way in the Borough of Dudley, ranging from countryside walks to urban walkways. They provide both highway and leisure facilities that are protected by law. The function to protect and assert this public right, lies with the Council through the Director of the Urban Environment.

 

Public rights of way are quite different from private rights of way, the latter being commonly provided by private developers to give rear access to private property. Your deeds should help to determine those private rights.
