Summary

The Countryside and Rights of Way Panel of Staffordshire Council are scheduled to meet on Friday 12 December 2025. The agenda includes discussion of the proposed Staffordshire Moorlands Rights of Way Improvement Plan, an update on access improvements, and consideration of the annual report on Public Rights of Way.

Staffordshire Moorlands Rights of Way Improvement Plan

The panel will be considering the Staffordshire Moorlands Rights of Way Improvement Plan. This plan likely outlines strategies and initiatives to enhance and maintain the network of public rights of way within the Staffordshire Moorlands area. Rights of way are legally protected routes that the public can use to cross land, including footpaths, bridleways, and byways1.

Access Improvement Update

The panel will receive an update on access improvements. This may include progress on projects aimed at making the countryside more accessible to a wider range of users, including those with disabilities.

Public Rights of Way Annual Report

The panel will be considering the annual report on Public Rights of Way. This report is likely to provide an overview of the condition of public rights of way in Staffordshire, any issues encountered, and work undertaken to maintain and improve them.


  1. Footpaths are for walkers only, bridleways are for walkers, horse riders and cyclists, and byways are open to all traffic, including motorised vehicles, although restrictions may apply.
