Apply to join Local Access Forum
Do you want to improve
outdoor access and recreation in North Bedfordshire?
Can you spare some
time to help us!
Do you love the great outdoors? Are you a
countryside user?
Do you want to influence future outdoor
access and countryside recreation developments?
We need local volunteers to join our Local
Access Forum. This is an important group which was established
as a result of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and will
make significant inputs into countryside recreation and outdoor
access issues in the Borough of Bedford.
The Borough of Bedford Local Access Forum
provides independent strategic advice to Bedford Borough Council
and many other local and national organisations to improve access
for all to local countryside for recreation whilst protecting
wildlife and landscape.
The membership of the forum needs to represent
a wide range of interests in a balanced way, so we are looking for
applicants with a broad experience across one or more of the
following:-
- Land owners/ Land managers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Diversity and ethnic
groups
|
- Cycling (on and off road)
|
- Disabled and inclusive access
|
- Equestrian (riding and/or driving)
|
- Conservation and Heritage
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Young people and Youth organizations
|
This is an independent advisory group and each
member strives to recognise the views of others and aims to reach a
consensus on a wide range of countryside issues. We are looking for
people capable of sharing their skills and experiences and not only
representing the views of any particular organisation.
