Local access Forum

Local Access Forums (LAFs) advise decision making organisations (such as local authorities) about making improvements to public access for outdoor recreation and sustainable travel.

LAFs are established under sections 94 and 95 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and are governed by the Local Access Forums (England) Regulations 2007).

Milton Keynes LAF 

The Milton Keynes Local Access Forum meets 4 times a year and is made up of a variety of people including landowners and users of the public rights of way network including walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Topics for consideration often relate to policy and strategy, large scale planning developments and other rights of way matters.  The meetings are usually held in the evenings beginning at 6.30pm. Walks are organised for members to look at topical issues.
