To the Lincolnshire County Council Freedom of Information Department,

I am writing to submit a Freedom of Information (FOI) request for records relating to the diversion of Public Footpath No. 79 which was officially approved on 28 January 1980.



Please note the following key pieces of information that may assist your search for documents:

Applicant:[redacted] Alford, Lincolnshire

Relevant Council Officer: [redacted] Head of Secretarial and Legal Services, County Offices, Lincoln

Reference Number: [redacted]

Relevant Dates: Correspondence from 1977 to 1980

Based on documents I have in my possession, the timeline of events appears to be as follows:

A letter from the Lincolnshire and South Humberside Area group, dated 20th November 1979, states "there would however seem to be no valid reason for diverting that section" of the path.

The diversion was officially approved on 28th January 1980.



2. I am seeking all correspondence, meeting minutes, and internal memos related to the application for this footpath diversion.
