Have your say on access – go to the Agricultural Show

North Ayrshire Council and North Ayrshire Outdoor Access Forum have been reviewing North Ayrshire’s Outdoor Access Strategy – ‘aiming’ they say, ‘to get the best balance between the rights of the public to access land across the area, and the rights and interests of those who own and manage that land.’

They are asking anyone with an interest in the outdoors – from ramblers to landowners, cyclists to canoeists, kayakers to horse-riders – to have their say on the draft strategy. This ‘public consultation’ lasts for 10 weeks until Monday 26 September 2011. It does not, alas, consist of a face-to-face conversation at any point, but your can see the draft proposals online or at Brodick Library. And if you are at the Agricultural Show at Glenkiln in Lamlash on this coming Wednesday, August 3rd, the proposals will be there for you to comment on.
