You can report a problem with a public right of way, such as a public footpath or bridleway, or a roadside pavement using the links below. 

Public Rights of Way (PROW)

A public right of way is a route over land which the public has a legal right to use at any time.  Some paths may be surfaced although most are tracks across countryside owned by landowners.Report a problem with a public right of way

Highway and verge maintenance

If the issue is next to a road or highways this is dealt with by a different team.

Please note; Growth from a boundary hedge that separates a field or land from the road is the responsibility of the landowner.

We do have the power to take action on behalf of the landowner when appropriate.
