Focus
Being able to access our beautiful countryside and green spaces matters – whether you’re walking the dog, going for a family stroll, or just enjoying nature. We’re working to improve accessibility so residents of all ages and abilities can enjoy these spaces safely and easily.
What’s next
- Working with parish councils and landowners on priority routes that need better access
How to get involved
- Tell us where access is difficult (narrow gates, steep sections, stiles, missing links, or other barriers)
- Share the exact spot (what3words is great) and a photo if you can
- Suggest the routes where better access would make the biggest difference for everyday life
