Monmouthshire County Council is looking for new members to join the Monmouthshire Local Access Forum.  They need people who care about public rights of way and Monmouthshire’s beautiful countryside – the Local Access Forum provides a platform to share views on the issues people feel are important.  The forum provides advice on the improvement of public access in the county for open-air recreation and enjoyment and it advises and assists with the implementation of the council’s Public Rights of Way Improvement Plan.  E-mail countryside@monmouthshire.gov.uk for more information and application forms can be downloaded from www.monmouthshire.gov.uk/countryside-services/monmouthshire-local-access-forum.  The closing date for applications is 1 September.
