Have you ever wondered who advises on our local countryside?
30th Sep 2025

 

The East Sussex Local Access Forum is a group of passionate volunteers who represent a wide range of interests, from walkers and cyclists to landowners.

 

East Sussex County Council are currently recruiting new volunteer members to provide impartial advice and help improve access to our beautiful landscapes. They are particularly keen to recruit people who have an interest in off-road cycling or experience with disabled access to the countryside and people with mobility requirements.

 

The forum meets in person in Heathfield three times a year. This is a great opportunity to make a difference in your community.
