Countryside a go-go
February 4th, 2008
Get healthy, get out and get to know your country – the Devon Countryside Access Forum is after new members.
You could be one of the 15 volunteer members of this statutory body which meets four or five times a year to make the countryside accessible for all. During the past year the forum has advise on provision for those with disability and heard from speakers, such as Adrian Roper, from Sustrans and Simon Jenkinson from the kennel club.
Tim Felton, vice chair of the Devon Countryside Access Forum, told the PRSD: “For anyone interested in influencing the development of access to the countryside and coast in Devon, membership of the Devon Countryside Access Forum (DCAF) takes you to the heart of the debate and helps to influence local government and organisations responsible for the delivery of this vital public amenity. Since its inception in 2002 the DCAF has striven to deliver measurable progress rather than just act as a talking shop. My experience is that we have gone a long way to achieving that aim.â€
Interested? Then you can contact the secretary on 01837 810921, e-mail devoncaf@devon.gov.uk and application forms can be found on the access bit of the county council site.
The next public meeting is on Monday February 11 at 10am at County Hall, and will include a presentation by one of the public rights of way wardens.
