The Oxford Fieldpaths Society is a registered charity. It relies on volunteers to perform a whole variety of roles to keep it prospering.
We can summarise the main activities of the Society in the following way. The Society:
- organises a regular programme of walks throughout the year to ensure that the paths are used
- works with Oxfordshire County Council to maintain and improve rights of way
- provides financial assistance for the improvement of rights of way
- makes representation to and cooperates with the appropriate local authorities and other amenity groups on path monitoring
- reports obstructions on rights of way to the County Council and monitors progress in removing them
- submits claims with documentary evidence for additions to the Definitive Map of Rights of Way
- considers all proposals for alterations of rights of way, resisting change where possible unless there is significant public benefit and where possible negotiating mitigation measures thereafter
