We have the power to gate certain types of route where we are satisfied that levels of anti-social behaviour, crime or disorder justify such action.

A Gating Order may be made to restrict the route at all times or for certain times or periods as may be appropriate to the circumstances. The power does not permanently extinguish rights of way, making it possible to subsequently alter or revoke the restrictions and reinstate public usage.
