Access Issues

Readers might remember that I am a member of the Brighton & Hove Local Access Forum (LAF). These LAFs were set up under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CROW). Arguably that Act was one of the most life enhancing Acts of recent years. You can read about our local LAF here. Our LAF works in full co-operation with the neighbouring LAFs in East Sussex and West Sussex and with the Authorities charged with running the prospective South Downs National Park It is gratifying that more and more people are becoming aware of the opportunities for getting to know our interesting City and its environs. An example of the interest shown by our elected representatives is demonstrated by Councillor Dee Simson's comments here (Item 'Rights of Way' dated 31 January 2007). She draws attention to the draft Rights of Way Improvement Plan and 'missing links'.
