  • Campaigners hail move to ditch 2031 cut-off date for recording historic paths - The Government said it would repeal the deadline when parliamentary time allows.

The article from MSN discusses the decision by the UK government to remove the 2031 deadline for recording historic public rights of way, a move celebrated by campaigners. Previously, paths not recorded by this date would have been lost, potentially erasing centuries-old routes. This change was prompted by concerns raised by campaigners and MPs about the loss of access to the countryside. The government's decision aims to preserve these paths for future generations, ensuring that historical routes remain accessible. This legislative adjustment has been welcomed as it supports the preservation of England's rural heritage and public access to natural landscapes.
