Agenda item

6.1

The Director of Development Services submitted a report referring to two objections received in response to a Bridleway Creation Order to enable the continuation of the Blackburn Valley multi-user route for cyclists, pedestrians, horse riders and the disabled. He stated that one of the objections received would, in the circumstances described in the report, require an amendment to the Order, but that as the Council had already made and sealed the Order, it had no legal power to amend the condition contained within it. The Secretary of State only, therefore, possessed the power to amend the Council’s Order and confirm it.
