PLEASE RETAIN THIS SHEET FOR YOUR INFORMATION

NOTE FOR ORGANISERS

(Please read carefully)

Event applications involving orienteering, sponsored walks, cross country runs etc. should include a route plan with details of the start and finish areas, vehicle parking and marshalling points.

Any event using a public footpath or bridleway for the purpose of a motor vehicle trail of any description requires the consent of the County Council, under Section 33 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Applications should be made in writing to the Director of Democracy, Law & Transformation, Staffordshire county Council, Wedgwood Building, Block A, tipping Street, Stafford ST16 2DH, giving full details of affected routes.

Where routes use or cross public highways, applicants should advise local Police.

To allow applications to be fully considered and processed (largely to ensure that no double-booking takes place), it is essential that all completed application forms are returned with 28 days’ notice of the proposed event to:
