Abstract

Section 94(1) of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 requires a local access forum to be established by local highway authorities or, where the area to be covered by a forum is the responsibility of a National Park, the National Park authority. Where a forum is established for part of its area, the authority establishing it is under a duty to establish a further forum or forums for the remaining part or parts of that area. Local access forums will advise bodies exercising functions conferred by the Act on issues concerning the improvement of public access to land and such other matters as may be prescribed by future Regulations. Sections 94 and 95 of the Act empower the National Assembly for Wales to make regulations to provide for the establishment and operation of a forum.
