footpaths
WBC has a duty to keep public rights of
way open. If you wish to report an obstruction to a public
footpath you will not find much help on the WBC website, but
try ringing the main switchboard 01635 42400 and ask for the
rights of way officer. Alternatively, contact the West Berks branch of the Ramblers Association.
