The Parish Paths
Partnership Scheme is a Nottinghamshire
County Council, Environment Department initiative supported by the
Countryside
Agency.
East Bridgford
Parish Council entered into the Parish Paths
Partnership Scheme in 1995. Since then East Bridgford has been working
in
partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council to identify local needs
and
take an active role in the improvement and maintenance of the local
rights of
way network.
We have two Footpath
Wardens who liaise with Notts County
Council to ensure that headland cutting contracts are
carried out,
crossfield paths are re-instated after crop disturbance and that the
'furniture' i.e. stiles, steps, finger posts and marker posts are in
good
condition in order to try and keep the network 'user friendly'. This is
an
ongoing task along with the three Path Surveys that are carried out
during the
year.
The village has a
network of around sixteen miles of public
rights of way. Occasional village walks are organised in conjunction
with the
Parish Council and these are advertised in the Village Magazine.
