My brother fenced up the path for that reason and because it was people trespassing
He got a letter from the council with a number of people demanding the foot path be re opened
My brother responded that with it was trespass and a make shift short cut
The previous owner who was old had a sigh up saying private
My brother said he would open up access at the narrower end and the council would take on responsibility for the path
The council continued on with their investigation but after speaking to the tramps that wants to use this short cut none of them could say exactly were the path was located
So my brother won they would have to walk around it rather than take an illegal short cut
