Ravens Bank Drive footpath diversion planned in Redditch

Redditch Borough Council has announced the move regarding Footpath No. RDC-799 (C) (Part) at Ravens Bank Drive.

The notice can be viewed on the Public Notice Portal via: publicnoticeportal.uk

Issued under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the order will reroute the current footpath, which begins on the east side of Ravens Bank Drive and extends southeast for approximately 414 metres, terminating where it meets Footpath No. RD-800(C).

The new path will commence slightly further south from the current starting point on Ravens Bank Drive, winding in a southeasterly direction.

The proposed path includes several changes in direction and elevation, with steps and ramps introduced to accommodate differences in levels.

The council has made a map of the new route available for public viewing.

Residents interested in examining the changes can do so at the Customer Services Centre, Kingfisher Shopping Centre, from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

The map is also available online at redditch.gov.uk/consultations.

The council is inviting the public to voice any objections or representations regarding the new footpath.

These must be submitted in writing, clearly stating the grounds for objection, and sent to the Principal Solicitor, Redditch Borough Council, Town Hall, Walter Stranz Square, Redditch B98 8AH by October 10.

Should no objections be raised, or if any objections are withdrawn, the council will confirm the order as unopposed.

In the event of unresolved objections, the matter will be referred to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for confirmation.
