Rights of Way Improvement Plan Northumberland Rights of way improvement plan county services Copyright Gavin Duthie/ Northumberland Coast AONB 1 Executive member’s foreword As Executive Member for Environment and Regeneration, it gives me great pleasure to introduce the Rights of Way Improvement Plan for Northumberland. I believe that Northumberland has some of the finest landscapes in the country and rights of way provide the best means to explore and appreciate them. Our rights of way also provide opportunities for people to exercise, relax and enjoy our County’s unique cultural heritage. Whether you are a visitor to Northumberland, or a resident, our rights of way network can help you to enjoy Northumberland’s countryside. For the public to get the most from the network of public rights of way requires that they are available and fit to use. Also, they need as far as possible to meet modern demands for recreation. This is a challenge, especially as much of the network evolved to serve the purposes of local people who lived and worked in the countryside. Helping to meet the challenge is the purpose of the Rights of Way Improvement Plan. It aims to make the network fit for people’s needs by setting out policies and a programme of action. It recognises that the Council, working in partnership with other key partners, need to make practical improvements which reflect the needs and expectations of both existing and potential users.

Other plans and strategies can help to fulfil the strategic objectives of the RoWIP and include: Northumberland Local Transport Plan 2006-11. 1.6 The Local Transport Plan seeks to deliver within four priority areas: • Reducing congestion • Producing safer roads • Delivering better air quality and • Creating improvements to accessibility.

A host of conservation sites, including two National Nature Reserves testify to the great variety of wildlife and habitats also found on the coast.
