we recently received a snotty letter from the council informing us that were in bother as we have moved a gate from where the definitive line for the footpath is supppsed to go.
We haven’t moved it. The gate has been there since we took the farm on in 1979
What there saying is mindlessly petty as the only difference is the footpath continues along the edge of an arable field for about 50 metres then crosses into a grass field rather than going into the grass field then following the line of the arable field.
We’re talking about a line that’s 3-4 metres from where they reckon it should be and makes no difference to anyone. It’s also been like this for over 40 years possibly much longer.
Can they do anything or is it some jobsworth just throwing his weight about with no evidence to back it up?
