For those of you that don't know Oxfordshire, to be able to travel freely without incident around the county, you need to be a tree hugging vegetarian cyclists, carrying a flask of weak lemon drink and some Tofu sandwiches. Or get a bus. The CC are so green, they look like they need to
Now the lanes I want to find out about are in Oxfordshire, so I looked on the Oxfordshire CC website.
There is No:
Listing of current TRO's
Liting of amendents to the Definitive map
Information about BOATS other than this:
Byway open to all traffic (BOAT): a public right of way for vehicles and all other kinds of user, but which because of its nature is used mainly as a footpath or bridleway. Waymarked with red arrows.
But if your a walker or a horsey type, there's loads of info for you.
They do say where you can view the definitive map, which I have tried to do in the past without success. The person at the counter in the offices looks at you weird, then when you say 'road' they spring up and say that is handled by the county council, and as such must go through their offices.
So I decided to jump over the border, and look at Warwickshire. On there I found listings for current TRO's, old ones, amendments to definitive map and info on the 'e' roads (which is good because I saw one at a popular area, and didn't know if I could drive it, but now know I can!!
). So much more than Oxfordshire.I decided to post this here, to see what people think of other county councils, and how much info they provide you with. I have looked at one (Staffs I think) that had tons of info on BOATS in their area, TROs and everything else. As FOG members cover every area, we should be able to get some pretty good info on what the County Councils provide. Is anywhere worse than Oxfordshire?
