520 _aExplores whether the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) imposes a duty on landowners to make such land as becomes available for public use under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 Act by the end of 2005 accessible to disabled people. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 s21(2) stipulates what steps a service provider must take to remove obstacles, which prevent disabled persons enjoying the service. Questions whether a freehold owner or a tenant with control of access land is a provider of services. The DDA does not apply to the access right per se but may apply as soon as a service is provided to help people enjoy that right. Suggests that a landowner can avoid being a service provider by contracting for the access authority to undertake access improvement works rather than being reimbursed for doing the work himself.
