Oxfordshire’s Rights of Way Improvement Plan (RoWIP) is a key strategic document which Oxfordshire County Council as highway authority is required by law to have in place. It sets out how the council can work with others to try and make sure the public rights of way network meets the needs of the public, now and in the future. More information on ROWIPs can be found at Government guidance on improvement plans.
This is the first consultation of two that are necessary to produce the third RoWIP for Oxfordshire. This is the initial review stage and the views of land managers, local councils and other stakeholders are being sought alongside members of the public, and, taken together, will help officers to write a meaningful and deliverable plan.
The views of residents including users and non-users of Oxfordshire’s public rights of way are important to receive, so please fill in our online survey by clicking the ‘TAKE SURVEY’ button below.
Once this consultation has closed, we'll review the feedback and use this to inform the draft RoWIP's . We will speak with our Local Access Forum about the process and content of this. During the winter of 2025 we'll finalise the draft which we will consulted on.
