AIRFIELD FOOTPATH. The route shown on the map below is regularly used by residents, it is not however a right of way and Tockwith Residents Association (TRA) has been informed that the owner intends to close this route.

 

Because it has been walked for over 20 years without use being restricted TRA is applying to North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) for this route between The Green on Prince Rupert Drive and Southfield Lane near the School to be placed on the Definitive Map therefore becoming a legal right of way.

​

We will not be successful without you as it will be evidence from people who have used this route that will determine whether we can claim it.

 

If you walk this route regularly and would like to continue doing so we would like you to fill in a short and simple statement to add weight to the evidence. It will take you about 10 minutes.

 

Each and every form filled in will make it more likely that we can continue to use this route for amenity so your evidence is crucial to the success. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t walked it for 20 years, your evidence will still add weight to the case. If we don’t do this now we run the risk of losing the use of this route for ever.
