Last year, Dereham Town Council put in claims to have a number of paths in the town registered as Restricted Byways.\u00a0 The claims were put together by the Town Clerk, with input from Ian\u00a0Mitchell.\u00a0 Much of the evidence submitted related to historic usage of the routes, and was collected both by The\u00a0Ramblers, and through local advertising, including a \u2018drop in\u2019 morning at Dereham Windmill, which lies adjacent to one of the routes claimed.\u00a0 The issue was also complicated as a planning application was being processed which affected some of the routes, and the Town Council ensured in discussions with the developer that they were aware of, and accommodating, the claims.<\/p>\n

The initial response from Norfolk County Council in reviewing the evidence submitted, was to propose making orders for some of the routes to be Restricted Byways, but others only to be Public Footpaths.\u00a0 In practical terms, the Town Council and The\u00a0Ramblers both thought this was a nonsense, as it would have resulted on users of the Restricted Byways having to turn back where the only continuation was on a Public Footpath.\u00a0 Ian sought advice and input from The\u00a0Ramblers national office, while the Town Clerk conducted his own review of past decisions, as the County view appeared to be based on the validity of evidence regarding cycle usage.<\/p>\n

We are pleased to note that the orders now made by the County are for Restricted Byways for all of the claimed routes.<\/p>\n
