I am pleased to be able to send you the link below to our Rights of Way Annual Report 2024/25.  The report actually covers the past 3 financial years – due to staffing shortages, no separate report was produced for 22/23 and 23/24. This catch-up report therefore covers all 3 years with the last full financial year 24/25 being covered in more depth. 

Annual Report

This has been a difficult period during which a major review of rights of way & access management was undertaken to help reconcile deep cuts to our core government grant and other budgetary pressures.  I hope you will see that whilst this has been challenging, we have still managed to achieve a great deal and maintained high levels of public satisfaction for access on Exmoor.  Thank you to those of you who have worked with us, sending in path reports or helping on the ground keeping paths clear for the public to use.  Your support is much appreciated during these tricky times, and I hope you are all looking forward to the weeks ahead enjoying Exmoor as spring emerges.

Please come back to us if you have any thoughts, queries, or suggestions. 

Kind regards

Sue Applegate
