HC Deb 17 June 1980 vol 986 cc498-9W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when his Department received a communication from the Brandon and Bretford parish council objecting to the draft revised map of public rights of way in Warwickshire; and when a definitive reply will be sent.

Mr. Monro

Brandon and Bretford parish council's objection to the draft revised map of public rights of way in Warwickshire was received on 10 November 1977. Together will all other objections and representations to the review, it is currently being considered by the county council and the parish council will be contacted as soon as the county council's views are known. At this stage it is not possible to forecast when a definitive reply will be sent, since it may be necessary to hold a public local inquiry into objections received.

Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many objections to the draft revised map of public rights of way in Warwickshire have been received; when the last was received; and when a final decision will be made.

Mr. Monro

The period for objecting to the draft revised map of public rights of way in Warwickshire ran from 29 July to 30 November 1977. Over 1,500 objections were received. In view of the large number of objections it is not possible to say when the final decisions will be made.
