Public Footpath No.7 (Part) Middleton & Smerrill - Temporary Footpath Closure
What is happening?
DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL
TEMPORARY FOOTPATH CLOSURE
PUBLIC FOOTPATH NO.7 (PART) MIDDLETON & SMERRILL
WHEN: 15 November 2026 to 15 May 2027.
WHERE: Middleton & Smerrill footpath No.7, from a point 25m southwest of where footpath No.11 meets footpath No.7, for approx. 230m in a south-westerly direction.
REASON: To facilitate public safety due to loose rocks falling onto the footpath from the adjacent cliff face making it unsafe.
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE: No alternative route is recommended.
Access will be maintained, whenever reasonably possible, on the affected length of footpath. The footpath will re-open as soon as the work is finished. This may be earlier than advertised. Anyone needing further information on the footpath closure should ring Call Derbyshire 01629 533190.
For information about the works contact Severn Trent Water.
The County Council intends to make an order under Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended) to prohibit its use by traffic.
