The Director of Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing an update on progress to deliver the changes to public rights of way as a result of the construction of the A555.

It was reported that there had been a number of changes to rights of way around the route of the A555 relief road which also included some new footpaths and diversions of existing routes.  It was stated that these changes had not yet been published on the online rights of way map, but it had been established that it was possible to show rights of way on the map before that had been incorporated into a consolidated Definitive Map and as a consequence it was hoped that these would be added to the map soon.

RESOLVED – (1) That the report be noted.

(2) That the progress towards providing accurate rights of way information on the online mapping resource be welcomed.
