Parish Path Warden
The position of Path Warden for Tetsworth is currently vacant - please contact the Parish Council if you are interested in volunteering.
Although our paths and bridleways are ultimately the responsibility of Oxfordshire County Council (OCC), the Parish Path Warden scheme is volunteer-based and is co-ordinated on behalf of OCC by the Ramblers Association.
The purpose of Path Wardens is to keep Oxfordshire’s Public Rights of Way (PRoWs) open for easy use. All PRoWs are identified on a Definitive Map provided by OCC which is a legal record of all such rights of way in the county. To look at the map online, go to https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cms/public-site/countryside then click Access Maps.
The Path Warden role involves:
• Walking every path in the parish and noting any problems with access or way marking.
• Doing light trimming of vegetation encroaching on the paths, particularly at stiles, bridges or gates.
• Discussing minor problems locally to try and resolve them.
• Reporting serious problems such as public safety issues or obstructed paths to OCC’s Countryside Access Team (CAT).
• Working within specific guidelines agreed with OCC’s CAT.
Please report any PRoW-related issues to the Parish Council.
