  • Report to Cabinet
    Norfolk Local Access Forum Report title: Countryside Access arrangements update Date of meeting: 30 January 2019 Responsible Officer: Steve Miller, Assistant Director, Culture and Heritage Strategic impact To address the concerns raised by the Local Access Forum with regards to Public Rights of Way Management and delivering the service in an economic and cost-effective way. Executive summary At the July 2017 Local Access Forum (NLAF), it was agreed that at each future meeting, a summary of the work the Countryside Access Officers and Environment teams would be provided. At the October 2017 NLAF it was agreed that this report should be presented to the PROW sub-group prior to being brought to NLAF. This paper highlights this work in terms of the volumes of customer queries received and responded to. The paper also highlights other key areas of work. Recommendations: That the Local Access Forum note the progress made to date since the Countryside Access Officer posts were introduced. 1. Introduction 1.1. Since 1 April 2017, there is a single point of contact within each Highways Area office being responsible for their local rights of way issues. By having the officer within the Area office, they are more “on the ground” and better placed to deal with the operational reactive issues that occur when managing rights of way. They are supported by the wider Highways Area team staff. In addition, the Norfolk Trails team sits within the Environment Service at County Hall and carries out strategic and developmental aspects of developing the countryside access network. 2. Performance 2.1.

Suffolk’s natural environment is undoubtedly one of Suffolk’s key strengths. It is one of the golden threads holding together what makes this county great. People who live and work here often say how much they value its beauty, whether it is our coast, our wild heathland and forests in both east and west, our river valleys and estuaries, or the deeply rural nature of our agricultural landscapes. It is a truly wonderful county to live in. But we must not overlook the importance of Suffolk’s landscapes and wildlife to our society. The ‘natural capital’ of Suffolk is the foundation of many businesses, particularly in the tourism and farming sectors, and it is strongly associated with Councillor Mark Bee physical and mental wellbeing.
