What is a Rights of Way Improvement Plan?

The Rights of Way Improvement Plan is a five-year plan to make improvements to the countryside access network.  'Improvements' can be about improved information, as well as physically providing links or improving gates 'on the ground'.  The Rights of Way Improvement Plan is sometimes abbreviated to ROWIP.  Every Highway Authority should produce one by November 2007.  In Cumbria we published our ROWIP in July 2007, four months ahead of the deadline!
