Rochdale Rights of Way
Northdene Drive – going to Township next week.
The report in the pack is the same as last time.
Furbarn Lane, etc. IP has collated the
evidence forms, we need more. BB to include
request in email. BB
Knacks Lane – A request had been made by a local farmer for us to replace the
catch on the gate as it is being left open by riders. BB thought that the ones leaving the gate
would still leave it as the main problem is going back up to close it and then
backing out of the tight space available.
IP is going to raise the issue of the cattle grid and gate at the ROW
meeting on Thursday.
IP to ask J Simpson why she has changed her stance on the tarmac which has been
laid.

Bolton Road. IP has asked Tom Whitehead
about using bridleways for access roads.
