Share your views on paths and open spaces in Dudley

Dudley’s next Local Access Forum meeting will be held at the Council House on Wednesday 18 September at 1pm.

An invitation has been extended to local landowners, walkers, horse riders, cyclists and other people who regularly use the borough’s green spaces to join the forum.

The forum meets four times per year to discuss issues like footpaths and rights of way in the borough’s parks, green spaces and nature reserves. It advises the council on how public access to land in Dudley can be improved for visitors to enjoy.

Members are also able to comment on planning applications and other strategies affecting rights of way and footpaths.

Councillor Damian Corfield, cabinet member for highways and environmental services, said:

The Local Access Forum is a great way for residents who are passionate about the great outdoors to get involved in conserving their local scenic areas and making it easier for more people to appreciate them.

We have some fantastic green spaces in the borough and we welcome the constructive feedback that the forums provide on improving our footpaths, bridleways and other means of getting out into nature.

Residents who are interested in joining the Local Access Forum should contact Dudley Council Plus on 0300 555 2345.

More information on the forum is available on the Dudley Council website.
