Local Access Forums
In compliance with the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, two Local Access Forums have been established to cover the area of the Eryri National Park. One Forum covers the area of the National Park within Dwyfor and Arfon; a Joint Forum (with Gwynedd Council) covers the Meirionnydd Area, both inside and outside the National Park boundary. Membership is re-appointed every three years.
The Forum’s function is to advise the Eryri National Park Authority, Gwynedd and Conwy Councils, 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 enjoyment. The Forums meet at least three times a year; with occasional sub group meetings when required. Meetings are held during the evening (where a light supper is provided).
