"The service provided by Birchill Access was prompt, professional and proficient. Direct discussions with the Council had reached an unsatisfactory impasse but Claire was able to steer a path through the complex legalities and proposed a solution acceptable to all parties. 5 Star. I would heartily recommend Birchill Access to anyone seeking diversion of a Right of Way."
Landowner – Mid Wales
"Thank you so much for helping us to successfully divert the public footpath that crosses our land. This was a complicated and lengthy process but you were able to complete all the necessary paperwork on our behalf making this a stress free experience for us. You also offered advice on the proposed new route which gave us the best possible chance of success. The true measure of this project success is that not only do we get the path moved to a more convenient position but we can now provide a much better path for our friends, neighbours and general public to use. Your friendly professional approach was very much appreciated and I am happy to highly recommend your services."

Each time Claire has produced work of the highest quality and submitted her pieces on or before the deadline (much appreciated in this line of work). I would look to work with Claire again at the earliest opportunity.”
