Public Footpaths: Coastal Areas
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish the planned schedules for the completion of the England Coast Path.
- Answer
-
Restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in some delays to the England Coast Path programme. It is still Defra’s intention, however, to have all stretches either open or with establishment works started by the end of 2021.
By the end of April, proposals for 99% of the path will have been published by Natural England. To date 1,483 miles (55%) of proposals for stretches of the England Coast Path have been approved by Secretary of State, 401 miles (15%) of which are already open to the public.
As further stretches are ready for opening, this will be published.
