Walk your local paths
Help fight obstructions requiring detours over difficult ground...
... or past unfriendly locals
"If you enjoy the paths in your parish and live in or near any of those listed please consider helping the Ramblers to keep them open not just for ourselves but for those who follow."
"Our paths will disappear without you. Please think about helping the Ramblers to keep our paths where they belong – ‘at our feet’."

Parish Footpath Observers
The parishes listed below are without
Parish Footpath Observers (PFOs) who are the first line
of defence in the continuing struggle to keep our
footpath network open to all. This they do by
monitoring the condition of the paths in their parishes
and by reporting any issues encountered.

Area Footpath Maintenance Officer
Financial constraints on highway authorities mean
that they cannot always keep up with all necessary path
maintenance work, especially vegetation clearance.
It has become clear that if we wish to enjoy
well maintained paths we need to contribute and so Groups
across the country organise maintenance teams to tackle
this work. Ideally every Group in Kent would have
a maintenance team.
The job of the Area Footpath Maintenance Officer is
to provide encouragement and support for the setting up
and operation of such teams, particularly liaison with
highway authorities over the allocation of work,
limitations on tasks to be undertaken, training for use
of tools, insurance and safety.
For further information please contact
prow@kentramblers.org.uk.
