 Who are we?
Monmouthshire Local Access Forum is a statutory
forum advising on how to make the countryside more
accessible and enjoyable for recreation. The Forum is
made up of representatives from a wide range of
organisations including landowners, walkers, the
County Council, Countryside Council for Wales and
environmental groups.
Our aims
We provide guidance and contribute to the
management of the countryside in Monmouthshire as well
as improving opportunities for people to enjoy it.
What do we do?
The remit of the Forum is:
- To advise on the improvement of
public recreation and the enjoyment of the area as
described in the Countryside and Rights of Way
(CROW) Act 2000.
- To advise on the delivery of the
Rights of Way Improvement Plan for Monmouthshire.
- Promote the appropriate use of
opportunities to enjoy the countryside, and to
foster a better understanding of the varying needs
of different types of users.
- Advise on the appropriate
management and maintenance of access, balancing the
provision of access against the needs of
biodiversity, wildlife management and of landowners
and managers.
- Advise on developing new ways
for everyone to enjoy the rights of way and access
network, in particular for those with disabilities.
The aim
of the forum is to provide an independent view, rather
than to reflect the views of a particular
organisation. It is made up of countryside access
users, land owners and other member of the public with
an interest.
The forum generally meets four
times a year. Members of the public may attend
meetings as observers and comment, but not vote.
