Highways ROSS - August 2008

The farmer has ploughed up a path - can the Council do something?
Farmers have the right to plough fields and paths that cross those fields. The path must be
reinstated and marked out within 14 days of the first disturbance. If there is a second
disturbance of the same path then the path must be reinstated within 24 hours. Paths that
follow field edges must not be disturbed during ploughing. If you wish to report a path
that has been ploughed please complete the service request form.
With regards to crops is in an offence to allow crops to grow on or obstruct the right of way.
