Report a problem

Report a problem with a public right of way


Public rights of way include footpaths, bridleways and byways and are routes that the public can use at all times.

You can use this service to report a problem with either:

  • overgrowth – for example, tree, hedge
  • an obstruction – for example, fencing, barrier, an animal
  • a surface – for example, blocked, slippery, damaged or drainage-related
  • a structure – for example, a stile, gate, bridge, steps or building wall
  • a sign – for example, missing, obscured or misleading

You will have the option to provide additional information about the problem and upload a photo. You will need to provide us with your name and an email address.

Before you start

If you are reporting an emergency that is very likely to present an imminent threat to life or serious injury or serious damage to property please instead call us on 0345 155 1004.

When you are using the map, if you can see that the issue you plan to report is already there, please use the option to add yourself to the existing problem instead of creating a duplicate report.
