Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Sandwell and are not the council. About us

The Sandwell Local Access Forum met to discuss updates from Sandwell Council, updates from forum members, and the date of the next meeting. The forum was also scheduled to confirm the minutes of their last meeting.

Updates From Sandwell Council

The Sandwell Local Access Forum was scheduled to receive updates from Sandwell Council on several topics:

  • Definitive Maps: These maps provide legal records of the location and status of public rights of way1 (PROW).
  • West Bromwich Definitive Map: This is the official definitive map for West Bromwich.
  • ROWIP: This likely refers to the Rights of Way Improvement Plan, which outlines how the council plans to manage and improve its PROW network.
  • Walking and Cycling: This update may have covered initiatives or developments related to walking and cycling infrastructure in Sandwell.

Local Access Forum Members Updates

The agenda included time for updates from the members of the Local Access Forum. These updates were scheduled to cover:

  • Incidents of anti-social behaviour2 (ASB) on public rights of way.
  • Examples of good or bad public rights of way, so we can learn from this for existing and future routes .
  • Suggested routes for the Rights of Way Improvement Plan review.

Other Business

The date of the next meeting was scheduled for March 2026.


  1. Public rights of way (PROW) are routes legally protected for public use, including footpaths, bridleways, and byways.
