Default Rights of way obstructions

what constitutes an "obstruction" on a RoW ?

Does a couple of people repairing a wall at the side of a RoW
reasonably constitute an obstruction if legitimate RoW users can
pass by with care?


Is it a private RoW or a Public RoW? If private, the test for
obstruction is whether or not there is a substantial interference to its
use. If public, the Council can demand the removal of even a temporary
obstruction and remove it themselves if that is not done. In either
case, the remedy is likely to take a lot longer to implement than the
wall repairs.
