Residents asked for opinions on public footpaths
- Published
Surrey residents are being asked to share their views on footpaths to help drive improvements.
Surrey County Council (SCC) is responsible for around 2164 miles (3482 km) of paths, otherwise known as public rights of way, both in rural and urban areas.
"Accessing these paths is important for residents to enjoy and explore, travel to work or school and for health and wellbeing," SCC said on its website.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for residents to share their views and really shape how we manage and improve our rights of way," said Marisa Heath, SCC cabinet member for the environment.
"Exploring the countryside and being close to nature is so important for our health and wellbeing and also to understand the benefits of the natural environment", Ms Heath added.
She said SCC wanted "to support everyone by improving our networks”.
The survey, external is open until 10 March.
