Can a fence be removed if it is causing an obstruction ?
Yes - for further information please go to obstructions on public footpaths.

Is it legal for an electric fence/barbed wire fence to be erected next to a path
In certain circumstances yes. Electrified fences should have notices at the start, end and along it length informing the public. If the fence is considered a nuisance please complete the service request form and an officer will investigate.
