Local Access Forum
| The Mid Lincolnshire Local Access forum is a statutory advisory body established under section 94 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. North East Lincolnshire Council and Lincolnshire County Council support the forum to carry out its duties.
Its primary role is to advise as to the improvement of public access to land within both counties, for open air recreation and the enjoyment of the area. In doing this the forum considers the needs of land management and conservation. |
