Dept for Environment Food and Rural Affairs

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many traffic regulation orders have been taken out on bridleways and other footpaths in the last three years.

Answer: John Mann: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many traffic regulation orders have been taken out on bridleways and other footpaths in the last three years. [180106] Alun Michael: This information is not held centrally. I have asked officials to obtain information from local authorities on this issue but the information received is not easy to reduce to statistical analysis since traffic restricting orders can vary from application for very small stretches of a right of way to longer or more complex stretches.
