Maintenance of paths: Who is responsible for maintaining Warwickshires footpaths and bridleways?
It is a joint responsibility between Warwickshire County Council and the county’s farmers and landowners. Generally speaking, the County Council are responsible for signposting, undergrowth clearance, bridging natural watercourses and surface repairs. The landowner is responsible for the installation of gates and stiles, the cutting of overhanging vegetation, the bridging of man-made watercourses, and ensuring that paths are kept clear of crops.
