Didn't realise you were a comedian.pbartlett said:The best thing is to complain to your local council as they have the legal knowledge and enforcement powers if applicable. or even your local councillor - that is what they are there for!You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride0 -
Best guess is that after the latest sewage spill they are being cautious about it happening again and being a danger to the public.
They are responsible for their land, anything goes wrong they would be up sewage creek because they would have been aware of the risk and allowed it to open anyway.0 -
Had further clarification from the County Council today (email below). I must say I am not at all happy about it as I have walked this same route since I moved to the area some years ago. I have also tried to speak to the company who own the land but haven’t got anywhere.

Unless you can demonstrate that you used the route regularly for at least 20+ years and that there were not "No public right of way" signs there you have nothing to complain about. You do not have a right to walk on someone else's land unless there is a right of way.LisaMarie9313 said:Had further clarification from the County Council today (email below).

I haven’t personally used it for that long, possibly 6 years at the most but I know of neighbours who have used it for a lot longer. I will need to ask them as the M6 toll road was built through the land immediately behind this and this might be why the right of way wasn’t recorded.MattMattMattUK said:Unless you can demonstrate that you used the route regularly for at least 20+ years and that there were not "No public right of way" signs there you have nothing to complain about.
