Who will benefit from Rights of Way Improvements?

The ROWIP is an access for all plan, which intends to improve access to the network for all types of users. In the Year 1 business plan we aim to deliver a number of small scale improvements to Public Rights of Way across Merseyside, These improvements will benefit:

• Walkers
• Cyclists
• Horse Riders
• People with Mobility Impairments
• Recreational Motorists
• Carriage Drivers
• Landowners

In addition to these, we anticipate that the following groups will also benefit from improvements to the network:

• Under represented groups (young people, those people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds and people living in areas of social exclusion).
• Infrequent or non users (people who cite no time, not knowing the location of routes, insufficient information and no current interest as reasons for not using the network).
• Other recreational users (people undertaking additional recreational activities outside the scope of the plan but who may benefit from access improvements. For example Anglers, Canoeists etc.
