Council officials say the path meets common law tests for a public right of way
Belfast council officers are advising elected representatives to assert a public right of way against a private landowner after a gate was erected on a path in East Belfast and welded shut.
In 2020 the gate was welded shut and members of the public alleged that the action had blocked a public right of way. A questionnaire and map were sent out to residents by the council. The council report adds: “In 2021 when the gate was welded shut once again, having been reopened, the council were compelled under the above duty to investigate. The council wrote to the landowner asking for the gate to be reopened to restore the public right of way.
