Our local footpath is completely overgrown – who deals with that?
Legally, nobody has a responsibility to maintain Rights of Way or access routes. In practice, some paths have traditionally been looked after by the Council or other local organisations. If the path is a Right of Way, then the public can maintain it themselves, and this is often the best way. If you would like advice on path maintenance, please contact the countryside team (email Craig Gilbert at craig.gilbert@fife.gov.
