Date:December 2016
-
Body:The Highland Council
-
Sector:Local Government
-
Outcome:Not upheld, no recommendations
-
Subject:rights of way and public footpaths
Summary
Mr C complained that the council failed to follow correct procedures when diverting a long-distance pathway which was also part of the council's core path network. He said this removed his right to object and comment on the proposed diversion.
We found that as the council were not required to close and divert the route, the consultation process would not apply. We found no evidence of administrative failure in the way the council dealt with this matter and did not uphold the complaint.
