Don’t you just love it when construction workers see a public right of way as a nice, flat, readymade surface on which to park their fencing; these construction workers blocking not one, but two connecting countryside rights of way at Whitchurch Hampshire, severing the promoted Test & Dever Way long distance trail.

Jackie Browne, the local WaW co-ordinator thanked Borough Councillor Chloe Ashfield and the Basingstoke and Deane Enforcement Team for reacting within 24 hours of her phone call. The developers, by not keeping the public right of way open, were informed that they were currently in breach of their planning permission and were served a two week Enforcement Notice.
