The Authority appoints one Member representative, with one reserve Member, to this Local Access Forum.

The Peak District Local Access Forum meets regularly to advise the National Park Authority and Derbyshire County Council on access improvements to the countryside of the Peak District. Its members bring experience of a broad range of interests including walking, cycling, horse riding, farming, land management, conservation, and local business.

The forum first met in December 2000 following the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. It was re-established in 2003 with new members.

It now meets three times per year at Aldern House, Bakewell (usually on Wednesdays), and may hold occasional meetings at other venues. Its members bring experience of a broad range of interests including walking, climbing and cycling, farming, land management, conservation and local business.
