Agenda item

Dawn Biram, a member of the public spoke to the PD LAF about erosion of rural paths.  Several sites were referred to.  Works to try and improve access and footpaths sometimes had a negative impact depending on materials and methods used when upgrading gates, seating and shelters.

The Derbyshire Rights of Way Improvement Plan (RoWIP) will be considered at  the next LAF meeting due to Gill Millward’s absence. 

The Review of Long-Term Direction Excluding Access at Turncliff Common, due to be raised under Any Other Business, will similarly be taken to the October 2025 meeting in Gill’s absence.

There will be an update at the next meeting on the response from the National Trust in relation to the Derwent and Howden Moor fencing over the request to remove once no longer required, and to seek confirmation of access points along the fencing line.

Action: That the Peak District LAF contact the National Trust regarding removal of the fencing once the project is complete.  Any comments to be sent to Mike Rhodes who will pass them on to the National Trust.
