Agenda item

M Beer updated the Members on the work of the Local Access Forum (LAF).

1.    The Forum received a presentation from Severn Trent on Open Water Swimming and currently Severn Trent are experimenting with this activity at Carsington Water (which is outside of the National Park) and looking to roll it out at Ladybower Reservoir.  Concerns were raised regarding car parking and these would be taken into consideration by Severn Trent.

2.    The LAF has made representations to Derbyshire County Council re their work on Rights of Way (ROW).  Currently the work is dealt with in reporting order, whereas the LAF would like DCC to prioritise the ROW work in order of use and importance.
