Plans to help people explore, understand and get involved with the local countryside are underway with a new Outdoor Access Improvement Plan from Central Bedfordshire Council.
Central Bedfordshire has a wonderfully diverse natural landscape, which the Council has a critical role in managing access to; both through the rights of way network and a number of Council owned heritage and countryside sites.
The Council also has a statutory duty to review their outdoor access provision and make plans for the future. So with its last Outdoor Access Improvement Plan now complete, the Council is asking the community to comment on exciting, new plans that will last until 2023.
The Council wants to take this opportunity to emphasise how much of a green and pleasant place to live and work Central Bedfordshire is.
People are being asked to view exhibitions and have their say on plans from Monday, 22 October until Friday, 18 January 2013. They can view consultation documents online at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/consultations during this time as well as visiting exhibitions where paper copies of the questionnaires will be available.
The Council's Countryside Access Team will be on hand to talk about the proposals at:
o Biggleswade Library on the 23 November (10am - 4pm)
o Flitwick Library on the 6 December (10am - 4pm)
o Leighton Buzzard library on the 9 January (10am - 4pm)
This new Plan will act as the cornerstone strategy for countryside and outdoor access management for Central Bedfordshire. It is part of a suite of strategies and plans which will plan, deliver and manage countryside access and greenspace in the area.
