WORCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL

Notice of closure of Footpaths AY-577, Abberley & AD-523, Astley & Dunley

(“the highway”) as an Emergency Measure.

It appears to Worcestershire County Council that because of the likelihood of danger to the public as a result of a dangerous bridge, there is an urgent need to close the highway immediately in the following terms: –

1. The effect of the Notice is that no person shall proceed along the entire lengths of Footpaths AY-577, Abberley & AD-523, Astley & Dunley from their junction with Footpath AY-573 at Birch Hall (grid ref: 377446, 269005) to their junction with Footpaths AD-525 & AD-531 (grid ref: 377943, 269055).

2. This provision shall continue in force for a maximum of 21 days (unless further provision is made for its continuance). It is anticipated that it will remain in force for 21 days.

3 There is no suitable alternative route.

Nothing in this Notice shall prevent at any time access for pedestrians to any premises situated on or adjacent to the highway, or to any other premises accessible for pedestrians from and only from the highway.
