Agenda item

Any updates on the progress of Recreation Hubs should be reported back to LAF as the work on the National Park Management Plan develops.  There is nothing to report back to the June meeting.

Charlotte Gilbert, Charlotte Leech and Craig Best were thanked again for their presentations on the perspective of land managers at the previous meeting.  Charlotte Gilbert advised, following on from one of the identified problems of land ownership, that recently published NFU data recorded £2.4 million worth of stock had been killed or severely injured in incidents involving dogs UK wide in 2023.  This is up from £1.8 million the previous year.  These incidents will continue to be a challenge and worth coming back to at future LAF meetings.

Item 6

Louise advised that the consultation responses on the long term Directions at Diggle and West Nab have now been sent.  An amendment on the West Nab Direction was on today’s agenda for discussion later in the meeting under Item 9.

Item 7

Martin Bennett advised that the letter he was asked to draft at the February meeting to DCC cabinet members regarding the work on roadside marking would need to be resent.
