A public footpath in Grimley is set to be permanently rerouted.

The Malvern Hills District Council confirmed the decision on Wednesday, August 28, affecting Footpath No. GM-588.

The current path, spanning roughly 54 metres across farmland, will be closed, with a new 41 metre path set to be created.

The new path will be two metres wide, with a one metre clear verge on each side.

The changes are shown on the order plan, which can be viewed for free at the Malvern Hills District Council House during normal office hours.

Copies of the plan can be purchased for £2.

The order will come into effect once the council says it complies with Article two of the order.

However, anyone who wishes to question the order can apply to the High Court within six weeks of the date of the notice's first publication (September 4).

The decision is open to feedback until Wednesday, October 16.
