May 2008
Defra produced in May 2008 Version 5 of their guide to Part 6 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 and to Restricted Byways. This guide is for the benefit of local authorities, enforcement agencies, rights of way users and practitioners. Defra was assisted by GLEAM in the production of this guide, and it incorporates a number of suggestions made. Among other issues, this new version covers recent developments, such as the Winchester (Hampshire) case.
