“I feel there is not a joined up approach between sustainable transport and the Rights of Way have been considered. Putting obstacles in place only encourages users to find the most direct and quickest routes of travel.”

“The plan is a step in the right direction. However, local backstreet rights of way are plagued with litter, drug dealing and needles which needs much more attention than the plan will deliver. Dealers are getting so brazen now they are moving onto street corners of even more busy roads.”

“As usual, nowhere near enough provision will be made for all persons with limited mobility, not just the disabled.”

“I think given Portsmouth is highly pedestrianised and accessible by many forms of transport, there isn’t much to be done with regards to identifying further PRoW. I was surprised to see that regular walking routes I take around Hilsea Lido, Foxes Forest and Hilsea Lines are not PRoW. These are the types of pathways I think require maintenance and improvement, rather than short alleyways between houses.”
