Webinar: Are Public Rights of Way Discriminatory? An Examination of Highways and the Equality Act 2010 🛣️ 📆 Monday, 2nd December 2024 🕙 10am - 11am 💻 Free Zoom Webinar (recording available to all registered and via our website) 🖱️ Register here: https://lnkd.in/edgighSN Over the last few years, there has been a growing tension between a local highway authority’s duties and obligations under the Highway Act 1980, and their corresponding duties and obligations under the Equality Act 2010. This has not been helped by a collection of out-dated and contradictory ‘guidance’ documents produced by the government and charities. To assist Ruth Stockley KC  – the newest specialist highway law silk – and Piers Riley-Smith will examine the nature of those duties and explore how local highway authorities can pragmatically chart their way through this tricky area.  #highwayslaw #planninglaw #localgovernment
