Vacancies on Sutherland Local Access Forum

Highland Council is looking for new members to fill vacancies on its local access forum in Sutherland.

The forum advises the local authority on matters relating to outdoor public access and plays a key role in resolving some access disputes and in core path planning.

There are usually two meetings per year and occasional other site visits or correspondence over a five-year term.

The forum looks to maintain a balance of interests by having three land managers, three access groups and three community representatives together with two councillors and a member of the disability access panel.

Anyone wishing to apply must have the support of a recognised body whose interest they would represent.

For further information and to submit an application before Monday, December 18, email: access@highland.gov.uk
