Over
the last few years, Ken has worked on a series of studies looking at
the feasibility of developing new public rights of way and promoted
routes a cycleway from Ambleside to Bowness, a mountain bike
route from SW Cumbria to North Yorkshire coast, bridleway networks in
the Preseli mountains and a coastal footpath in North Somerset to name
a few.
Ken
was been at the forefront of work with highway authorities in developing
their Rights of Way Improvement Plan. He wrote the draft and final Plan
for Lancashire (for Lancashire County Council, Blackpool Borough and
Blackburn with Darwen Borough Councils), one of the first to go out
to public consulations.
Working
with Resources four Change, Ken reviewed the RoWIPs prepared by Welsh
Unitary Authorities. Ken was part of a team undertaking research into
the use of BOATs and illegal off-road motoring, for Defra. 
Also
for Defra (and its predecessor) he has completed economic evaluations
of proposed changes to legislation surrounding Rights of Way in England
and Wales and associated regulations brought in under CRoW. He also
undertook a project for CCW looking at the value for money achieved
through support given to local authorities in maintaining PRoWs in Wales.
