North Yorkshire Council declines to contribute to rights of way maintenance in Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors national parks, potentially affecting path quality.

North Yorkshire Council has declined to contribute towards the maintenance of rights of way in Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors national parks, despite being legally responsible.
