on improving public rights of way and other access in the area.
More information is available on the Joint Local Access
Forum website (opens a new window).

Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP)
Bath & North East Somerset is working with Bristol
City Council and South Gloucestershire Councils to produce a Rights
of Way Improvement Plan, to be published November 2007. Further
information is at www.jlaf.org.uk/rowip
The Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) will be a chance to
look at the network of routes and consider how people use, or want
to use those routes and then plan our future work on public rights
of way and access to the outdoors. We will look particularly at the
needs of the public, including the needs of the disabled. We have
undertaken some initial work for the Joint Local Transport Plan and
have stated that our overall aim is to increase the use of the
local rights of way network.
More information on the Rights of Way Improvement Plans can be
found at
defra the government departments website.
