The Countryside Team is responsible for the protection, maintenance and signposting of Darlington Borough’s 347 footpaths, bridleways and byways. As the Highway Authority, the Borough Council has a duty to erect signposts where a Public Right of Way meets a metalled (tarmaced) road. It also has the power and the duty to sign Public Rights of Way to assist users who are unfamiliar with the route. See Rights and responsibilities.
