M&S path closed off

Message received 13th February – via email.

Thank you for the recent update newsletter and all your good work for Rickmansworth.

To my shock M&S have closed off the pathway from the council car park to Ebury Road while doing their renovation works to the shop.

As far as I understand this is a public right if way as the passage between the houses surely does NOT belong to M&S.

Since the (very badly communicated) renovation works are scheduled to take a further 6 weeks to two months this, much used, public footpath should be reopened for access asap

I do hope this issue can be addressed by those concerned and the current situation rectified.

RDRA response:

This is a public footpath so it is the responsibility of Herts County Council and they have confirmed that due to health and safety concerns the path will remain closed until M&S complete their works. I am awaiting a time line.
