• No additional barriers are to be placed across the rights of way. No stile, gate, fence or other structure can be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority.
Where possible, the definitive line of public rights of way should be kept open and available for use throughout. However, if Public Safety demands a temporary closure, application should be made at least 8 weeks in advance to: The Public Rights of Way Mapping Team at prowclosures@worcestershire.gov.uk.
