[quote=Derbyshire County Council]Dear all
We are asking for people’s views on our latest proposals for improving the network of paths and trails across Derbyshire over the next five years, including those in the Peak District National Park.
We produced our first Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) in 2007, based on what people told us were the most important issues and what our priorities should be for meeting the needs of both local residents and visitors to the area. It included a statement of the action we proposed to take for the period from 2007 to 2012. We are now revising that statement of action to take us through the next five years to 2017.
We would like your views on what we are trying to achieve and whether you, or the organisation that you represent, agree with the way that we have prioritised the aims and identified needs in the draft statement of action or if there are any proposed actions that are missing. We are producing this new document during a challenging time for local authorities in the face of continuing spending cuts. It is therefore even more important than ever to get your comments on how we can strike the right balance between being realistic about what can be achieved against the need to be aspirational.
The public consultation is open for a 12 week period running from the 6 August to 29 October 2012. The final document will then be published later in the year. We want to encourage as many people as possible to view the draft statement of action on line and complete the questionnaire which is available at: http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/council/have_your_say/consultation_search/Consultation_search_index/rights_of_way_improvement_plan.asp
However, if this is not possible then paper copies of the questionnaire are available in our libraries or in countryside visitor centres. Paper copies or alternative formats of the draft statement of action and the questionnaire itself can also be requested by contacting <redacted>.
We would be very grateful if you could circulate this information amongst any contacts that you have and look forward to receiving your response.
Thank you once again for your help. If you have any questions in the meantime then please do not hesitate to contact one of us.
Yours sincerely
Countryside Access Improvement Officer
Derbyshire County Council
This is the important bit
