don't want a right of way forming after 25 years, but has the effect on naive
members of the public of making one apprehensive to approach the bank entrance
or ATM. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Just a question on the law here: isn't there something that says if
there's nothing to indicate it isn't a right of way such as a gate saying
private, and people use it for a right of way for over a certain time, then it
is in fact now a right of way? <BR><BR>I was under that impression because of
the number of signs you find around saying there is no implied right of way
and quoting something like the highways act 1975. Although that might be just
a liability thing I suppose. <BR><BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR>Yes, I
remember reading the council minutes on a path which was a disused railway south
of Newbury (oh the glamour!). People had used it for so long that it was
considered a right of way, despite being on land owned by a farmer. The
onus was on him to display a sign saying "not a right of way", otherwise after
25 (?) years it would become right of way. [1] <BR><BR><BR>Ben<BR><BR>[1] This
