RESOLVED:
 

1.   
That Cabinet approves the adoption of the Rights of
Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) 2025-2035.

2.   
That Cabinet delegates decisions on delivery of the
ROWIP to the Executive Director for Environment, Property and
Growth, in consultation with the Director for Environment and
Cabinet Member for Environment, through annual implementation plans
and performance indicators.
Reasons for
Decisions:
 
The
ROWIP is a statutory document requiring review every 10 years. The
four proposed themes in the revised ROWIP reflect feedback from the
public and partners which focused on: supporting access for all;
maintaining rights of way so they are safe; a desire for improved
connectivity where possible and a willingness from residents and
partners to work with SCC to inform how the network could be used.
Feedback from the 12 week statutory consultation shows 80-90% of
respondents agreed with the priorities. 
Delivery will be through an annual implementation plan which needs
to be able to respond to changing conditions on the network and
availability of funding.

(The decisions on this item can be called-in by the
Communities, Environment and Highways Select Committee)
