Flintshire Local Access Forum
Published: 20/10/2014
The Flintshire Local Access Forum was originally established in 2002 by the
County Council in accordance with the requirements of the Countryside and
Rights of Way Act 2000, and covers the whole of the county of Flintshire. The
present term of membership of the Forum of three years will expire on 16
January 2015. Each local authority in Wales has established one or more forums
for its area.
The Forum’s function is to advise the County Council, Natural Resources Wales
and others, as to the improvement of public access to land in the area for the
purposes of open air recreation and the enjoyment of the area.
The County Council now wishes to appoint interested persons with the
appropriate background and experience to serve on the Forum for the next period
of three years from January 2015. All present members who are willing to stand
for a further period will be considered, along with any new applicants.
So far, the Forum has generally met four times a year. It is important that
members can attend all meetings, as deputies are not permitted. Membership of
the Forum is unpaid, but members are able to claim reasonable expenses.
Any person wishing to be considered for membership can obtain further details,
and an application form, from:-
