Final Opportunity to Have Your Councils Say on Surrey's Rights of Way

With over 4000 responses to SCC initial Rights of Way Improvement Plan survey, Surrey County Council have now drafted a new Rights of Way Improvement Plan and want to give everyone a final opportunity to have their say on Surrey’s rights of way and shape the new plan which will run until 2035. 

Every council that is responsible for public rights of way must have a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP). This sets out how public rights of way meet the needs of the public, now and in the future.

SCC would like to hear your Councils views on the main report of the Rights of Way Improvement Plan Draft  (ROWIP) 2025 - 2035. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Please allow extra time to read the draft ROWIP. Your feedback will be used to shape the final ROWIP. 

The survey is open until 9 February 2025 and can be accessed on the Surrey Says website
