The network is used mostly for informal recreation but also in some locations, an important means of accessing shops, schools, places of employment and other services. Worcestershire County Council has the statutory responsibility to ensure that the county's public rights of way network are properly mapped and maintained, and the network is unobstructed and available for use by the public. This responsibility is managed by the Public Rights of Way Team, working with landowners and occupiers, volunteers, and appointed Service Providers.
