At the start of FP1 where it beginning at Pulloxhill Road Greenfield, the Kissing Gate has rotted & collapsed. Somebody has dragged it out of the way, but now there is no gate to the field from the road across from Greenfield Lower School. It is next to a field metal gate that now no longer has anything to close against. See rotten wood in photos.

Updates

  • Thank you for your report. Stiles and gates across public rights of way are the landowner's responsibility under Section 146 of the Highways Act 1980 rather than the Council's https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ ukpga/ 1980/ 66/ section/ 146 Stiles and gates are also only authorisable under Section 147 of the Highways Act where they are needed to control the movement of livestock https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ ukpga/ 1980/ 66/ section/ 147. So if there is no livestock in the field, the gate is not needed and it is fine to just have a gap. The landowner will install a field gate post if he needs one.

    State changed to: Closed
