HC Deb 20 November 2002 vol 394 cc157-8W
Mrs. May

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list the orders to be drafted relating to Bisham No. 9 footpath, when they will be published and if she will make a statement. [81756]

Alun Michael

Two orders will be drafted (a)an order under section 26 of the Highways Act 1980 to create a new footpath over the alternative route proposed by the Ramblers Association, and (b)an order under section 118 of the Highways Act 1980 to extinguish the part of footpath Bisham No.9 which will be rendered redundant by the new path. We are currently consulting the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead about the technical aspects of the orders and we expect to publish them next month. The orders will be open to objection and any objections duly made must be considered by the Secretary of State.
