A LIST of public rights-of-way still closed following the foot and mouth outbreak, has been issued by the North East Lancashire Ramblers Association.

The group, which includes 320 members of the Clitheroe Ramblers, has compiled the list with the help of Lancashire County Council.

Chairman of the group John Whitehead said: "I have consulted closely with the county council to arrive at the list. Only 30 paths remain closed and the numbers is expect to reduce weekly. There will be some farms, though, without rights of way going through or running close to them that are still under restriction."

The list also shows grid references for the individual farms through which they rights of way run.
