Once again around this field, no public access available on the original path due to secondary pigment style fencing and planting of Pedro see photos for problems. The landowner has made a token effort of trying to reposition another stile in another area but does this now constitute a public right of way from the new stile or does the landowner have to obtain permission for repositioning a public footpath and it’s access?
