Temporary Closure Of Public Footpath Ftm 77
(Tidenham Parish) Forest Of Dean District
NOTICE is hereby given that Gloucestershire County Council has made an Order to close temporarily under Sections 14, 15 and 16 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act, 1984
(as amended) part of Public Footpath FTM 77, from its junction with FTM 93 & FTM 77A and then extends in a generally easterly and southerly direction for approximately 1740 metres to its junction with public footpath FTM 94.
The said Footpath falls within the Parish of Tidenham in the Forest of Dean District within the County of Gloucestershire.
The closure is necessary to safeguard the health and safety of the public due to a cliff face collapse which has become unstable and is now blocking the footpath.
The Public Footpath was originally closed for 21 days by Emergency Notice commencing 2nd May 2024 and this was extended for a further 21 days from 24th May 2024.
However, as it is known that the works to remedy the problem will not be completed within the extended 21 day period it is considered necessary to close the Public Footpath by
an Order which can authorise the closure for up to six months from the date of the initial Emergency Notice.
The Order came into effect on the 30th May 2024 and can remain in force for a period of six months from the date of the initial Emergency Notice. After this date, if the closure is still required it will be necessary to apply to the Secretary of State for an extension of time.
Alternative route: No alternative route. Pedestrian access to adjoining properties and emergency access will be maintained for the duration of the works. Date: 5th June 2024.
