Report a Footpath Issue

With over 50 public rights-of-way (PROW) in the parish, there is always lots to do to keep footpaths and bridleways in good order.  So, if you are out walking and notice a repair is needed, let us know about it using the form below. 

Although we aren’t the responsible authority, we do make minor footpath repairs such as replacing waymarker discs ourselves. We then report bigger problems such as surface issues, excessive overgrowth and damaged bridges to Kent County Council, who will inspect the site and arrange repair work. Meanwhile, damaged stiles, gates, and fallen trees are the responsibility of the landowner, and we will need to find the owner and ask them to fix the issue. 

Please note, it can take time for the work to be done. If you have reported a footpath issue and have not heard back from us, do get in touch for an update. You can also report a footpath issue to Kent County Council using their website reporting page: https://www.kent.gov.uk/environment-waste-and-planning/public-rights-of-way.

11th July 2025: Please note, the staff member who actions footpath reports is now on holiday until Monday 20th July, and will address the issue you have reported on their return. If you are reporting an issue which you think may cause injury or accident call the KCC helpline 03000 41 71 71 instead (available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm); remember, in an emergency you should always call 999.
