PLOUGHING & RIGHTS OF WAY IN WILTSHIRE
Farmers - Avoid Legal Action.

Do not plough public footpaths on your land. Can't avoid it? Then reinstate immediately when ploughing is completed. Compact the surface by running your tractor wheels over the route to maintain a level and firm surface. If a crop is emerging - use a flail or mower. You must ensure the route is apparent on the ground. In addition peg out the line.
REMEMBER a minimum width must be retained. Cross-Field Footpath 1.0 metre; Field-Edge Footpath 1.5 metres; Cross-Field Bridleway 2.0 metres; Field- Edge Bridleway 3.0 metres. Other unsurfaced Highway 3.0 metres

A CLEAR PATH MEANS USERS WILL NOT STRAY FROM ROUTES CROSSING YOUR LAND

Non-reinstatement of paths could affect your single payment
