Agenda item

  -  Survey from NE and EAF

JW advised the forum of a review of the effectiveness of the English Access Forum which sought the views of local access forums.  MH reported that the EAF provided a good opportunity to meet with members from other LAFs. However MH advised that further interaction between Berkshire LAFs would be beneficial. JW advised of some of the other responses that had already been received, some of which supported Natural England contributing funding for the EAF. The deadline for the consultation was 30^th September.

Resolved:- That JW draft a response to the consultation to be circulated to LAF members for comments and approval.
