NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Staffordshire County Council intend, not less than seven days from the date of this Notice, to make an Order the effect of which will be to prohibit any pedestrians from proceeding along the following sections of Public Footpaths:

– Public Footpath No. 26 Waterhouses Parish from its junction with Public Footpath Nos. 27 and 1R/2321 Waterhouses Parish for approximately 16 metres in a south easterly direction to its junction with Dove Way.

– Public Footpath No. 27 Waterhouses Parish for its entire length, from its junction with Public Footpath Nos. 26 and 1R/2321 Waterhouses Parish approximately 305 metres in a south westerly direction to its junction with the A523 Road.

– Public Footpath No. 1R/2321 Waterhouses Parish from its junction with Public Footpath Nos. 26 and 27 Waterhouses Parish for approximately 36 metres in a generally westerly direction to its junction with Waterfall Lane.

The closure is required under the provision of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 Section 14 (1) (b) due to a flood alleviation scheme, undertaken by Amey on behalf of Staffordshire County Council.

An alternative route is available by using footways in the locality.

A plan will be displayed on site to show length of path to be closed and the unaffected rights of way in the area.

This Order will come into operation on 21/9/26 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.

Date: 10/9/26
