way. Since the original railway
track was removed, some 30 years ago, many people have used this as a right of way. If a path has been used regular ly for 20 years it can legally be claimed as a right of way. In Hyndburn we are equally upset by the attitude of the farmer and the Lancashire County Council officials who' have worked together to block our access. Petitions are useless in such
a case. The correct course of action is to telephone LCC on 01772 264468 to make a legal application for the above to become a footpath. Request a copy of the "definitive map" for that area. You will need to find witnesses who have used that path for 20 years. If you can do this, I will be happy to help in any'way possible. The authorities quote tres
pass and vandalism as reasons for blocking this path. Tres pass involves causing damage!
In fact, the first was some years ago when someone was paid to dig a trench a t the Read end of the viaduct. Taking advantage of the
recent foot and mouth scare, many mature trees were felled across the path for quarter of a mile near to the viaduct. This latter move was, in the opinion of manjr, an act of vandalism and possibly ille
