Handbook
The Peak and Northern Footpaths Society has been concerned with the preservation of Public Rights of Way since 1894. Inspecting the network of path and assessing proposals to close, divert or otherwise change the network, are the core activities of the Society.
Inspectors and Area Officers are a vital section of our volunteer workforce; however their efforts would be for naught without the backup of Courts and Inquiries Officers, Assessors, filing clerks and other volunteers. In revising the “Inspectors Handbook” we have aimed to include all areas of our work for all our volunteers.
The revised Handbook is intended to act as a reference manual for both new and experienced inspectors. It does not, nor could it, cover every possible situation which might be encountered. For anything not covered in the handbook, please refer, in the first instance to to the relevant Area Officers.
