CONSULTATION SCHEDULE

The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 requires the County Council to keep the Definitive Map of public rights of way under continuous review, and to make modifications where it appears that routes should be added, re-graded or deleted. The Definitive Map Review of Public Rights of Way is currently being undertaken in the Parish of Okehampton Hamlets.

The Definitive Map is the legal record of public rights of way. There are three categories:

• Footpath - a highway ver which the public have a right of way on foot only.
• Bridleway - a highway over which the public have a right of way on foot, horseback, leading a horse or on a bicycle.
• Byway open to all traffic - a highway over which the public have a right of way with all traffic but which is mainly used as a footpath or bridleway.

Maps showing the existing public rights of way, and suggestions to modify the Definitive Map, are available for inspection at the Okehampton Local Service Office, Brayhams, Okehampton on 01837 52773, and during office hours at the Public Rights of Way Service, Lucombe House, County Hall, Exeter, 01392 383026.

The map is also available for inspection at the Meldon Village Hall, Meldon and at the Dartmoor National Park Authority offices at Parke, Bovey Tracey.
