Extinguishment of Rights of Way
The Transportation Department deals with applications in respect of roads/laneways, which are in charge of the Council.
If you are looking to have a public right of way extinguished you are required to submit the following to the Transportation Department for consideration:
Letter of Application (Petition) signed by residents living adjacent to relevant road/laneway.
Applicant should submit exact details of location and reasons for making the request.
Once the the Local Area Committee and the County Council approves the proposal, a drawing is put on public display to indicate the area over which it is proposed to extinguish the right of way and the alternative route available. This gives the opportunity to all interested parties to make a submission to the Council in the matter. An oral hearing can be held if considered necessary. Responsibility for the carrying out of the works to effect the extinguishment if approved rests with the applicants.
A list of extinguishments, and their drawings can be found at the top of this page.
