Courteenhall - Temporary Public Footpath Closure

WEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL

ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 – SECTION 14
(PUBLIC BRIDLEWAY KH2 & PUBLIC FOOTPATH KH11 – COURTEENHALL)
(TEMPORARY CLOSURE) ORDER 2024

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that West Northamptonshire Council have made an Order the effect of which is to prohibit pedestrians, equestrians and cyclists from proceeding along those lengths of Public Bridleway KH2 and Public Footpath KH11 in Courteenhall as specified below. Private access to land or premises adjacent to the said lengths of bridleway and footpath are unaffected.

RIGHTS OF WAYS TO WHICH RESTRICTION APPLIES: The full lengths of Public Bridleway KH2 and Public Footpath KH11 are to be closed. Bridleway KH2 commences off The road to the Rectory near St Peter and St Paul’s Church at point A on the map at National Grid Reference (‘NGR’) SP7654 5282. The route then proceeds generally east of south for 529 metres to terminate at the parish boundary at point B at NGR SP7675 5236 at the junction with bridleway KZ13 and footpath KZ15. Footpath KH11 to be closed commences at point C at NGR SP7668 5263 and proceeds generally south of west for 182 metres to terminate at the junction with footpath KH10.

The route to be closed is shown on the map by a solid black line between points A-B and C-D.

REASONS FOR RESTRICTION: The restriction is required in the interest of health and safety during the installation of a gas main. Poor weather has made the routes impassable.

PERIOD OF CLOSURE: The Order will come into effect on 5th November 2024 and will continue in force for a period of six months. An application may be made for the approval of the Secretary of State for Transport for this Order to be extended if this proves necessary. However, the restriction specified will have effect only at such times and to such extent as is indicated by the display of notices.

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE: There is no suitable alternative route.
