Himley - Footpath Closure

ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 – (AS AMENDED) PUBLIC FOOTPATH NOS. 1 (PART) AND 2 (PART) 

HIMLEY PARISH TEMPORARY CLOSURE 

Notice is hereby given that the Staffordshire County Council, on 19/09/23, made an Order the effect of which will be to prohibit any pedestrians from proceeding along the following sections of Public Footpath: 

• Public Footpath No. 1 Himley Parish running from its junction with the woodland track north of the site of The Crooked House Pub for approximately 115 metres in a generally southerly direction to its junction with Public Footpath No. 2 Himley Parish.

• Public Footpath No. 2 Himley Parish from its junction with Public Footpath No. 1 Himley Parish for approximately 59 metres in an easterly direction to the car park entrance of The Crooked House Pub. 

The closure is required under the provision of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 Section 14 (1) (b) due to concerns over the instability of the ground conditions following the fire and demolition of The Crooked House Pub. 

No alternative route is available. A plan will be displayed on site to show the length of public footpath to be closed and the unaffected rights of way in the area. 

This Order will come into operation on 22/09/23 and will remain in force for a period of six months or until the risk of danger to the public is over, whichever is the earlier. If necessary, after six months, the Order may be extended for a further period with the approval of the Secretary of State. 

Dated: 20/09/23
