“Working together to improve public access to the countryside and public open spaces in Torbay.”

The Torbay Local Access Forum (TLAF) is a statutory forum which was set up under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 in June 2003.  The purpose of the Forum is to give independent advice to Torbay Council and other bodies (including the Secretary of State, Natural England, English Heritage and Sport England) on how to make the countryside and public open spaces more accessible and enjoyable for open-air recreation, in ways that address social, economic and environmental issues, and having regard to issues of particular local relevance.

Membership

The TLAF is made up of between 10 and 16 members with wide ranging interests.  They can represent landowners and managers, users of access land (such as walkers, horse riders and cyclists) and other interests such as tourism, conservation, disability issues and outdoor sport.
