cashire County. Council admitted th a t one per cent of its footpaths were still closed, including areas around Dunsop Bridge and n o rth of Glitheroe to Tosside and Bamoldswick. He added: "In the majority of cases, these footpaths cut through ‘ farm yards either affected directly by foot and mouth or which exist in foot and mouth affected areas. "My personal advice


dale: "Many people) take the opportunity to walk in the Ribble Valley. I t is most unfortunate if .part way through their walk, they find their , way barred because paths remain.1 closed.’ Lan­ cashire County Council has given the impression that all footpaths in the county are open.. I t therefore has a responsi­ bility to give clearer guidance." : A spokesman for Lan­


would be for ramblers to plan routes which avoid farmyards. For example, the Ribble Way is now fully reopen. We appreci­ a te th a t finding their way barred is bound to disappoint walkers, but we do have a telephone information service and website to update people on the latest footpath sit­ uation, which changes almost daily and there­ fore, prevents us from issuing any sort of defini-


' tive list of closed paths." The website address is
