Public Rights of Way
The maintenance of certain public rights of way (RoW) in the Denham settlements is included in the Devolved Services Contract with Buckinghamshire Council, these are cut twice a year. The public right-of-way on private land, such as that on Buckinghamshire Golf Course, is the responsibility of the land owner. Responsibility for maintaining all the other rights-of-way is with the Buckinghamshire Council team. To report an issue, please use this link https://fixmystreet.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/
If you have any questions about a right-of-way or if you are a walker and notice any issues, please email us at clerk@denhambucks-pc.gov.uk.

Under SECTION 154 (1) HIGHWAYS ACT 1980 the owner of any property who is found to be in contravention of this Act may be contacted and informed that unless the obstruction is removed within the stated period they may be subject to facing costs for the work to be done by an appointed contractor.
