Each path is recorded and maintained by local authorities across the UK to ensure they remain open, unobstructed and free for all to use.

Key Points: 
  • Each path is recorded and maintained by local authorities across the UK to ensure they remain open, unobstructed and free for all to use.
  • Groups campaigning for greater public access to the countryside have been trying to find and register these paths so they can be used in perpetuity.
  • Any paths which were not officially recorded after this deadline would be lost to the public.

Demystifying the ‘definitive’ map

    • All public rights of way in England and Wales are recorded in the definitive map and statement, which is the legal record maintained by local authorities.
    • Definitive maps were first introduced in 1949 as part of a post-war planning boom.
    • Despite the optimism of Clement Attlee’s Labour government, the task has proven to be complex and interminable for local authorities.

The path ahead

    • While this feels like a loss for access campaigners, the five-year extension to the original 2026 deadline would appear to strike a compromise, at least from the government’s point of view.
    • The government has cited COVID-19 as justification for the five-year delay, but the problem is more deep-rooted.
    • Labour certainly thinks so – but before it can implement any new settlement, the party will have to win a general election.
