The Exmoor Local Access Forum is an independent advisory body operating on a statutory basis under Section 94 of the Countryside & Rights of Way Act 2000. The statutory role of the Forum is to advise on the improvement of public access to land in the area for the purposes of open-air recreation and the enjoyment of the area, and as to such other matters as may be prescribed. The Forum members represent user groups such as horse riders/ walkers, land managers and two Exmoor National Park Authority elected Members.

The next Exmoor Local Access Forum meeting will be held via Video Conference on Tuesday 21st July 2020 at 10am. Usually the meeting would be held at a venue within Exmoor National Park, however due to Covid-19, a video conference is currently more appropriate.

The meeting will be open to the press and public in accordance with the provisions of reg. 7 of The Local Access Forums (England) Regulations 2007 (under s 94 and 95 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000). There is public question time at the beginning of this meeting when the Chair will allow members of the public two minutes each in which to ask public access related questions.

The agenda and papers for this meeting can be downloaded 10 days before the meeting from the Exmoor National Park Authority’s website.

If you would like to raise a question during the public question time please contact Ceri directly via email: cerirapsey@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk, and she will send you the video conference details so that you can participate. Alternatively, you can submit a question in writing prior to the meeting and this will be discussed at the meeting with the response noted in the minutes.
