Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Buckinghamshire and are not the council. About us

The Buckinghamshire Local Access Forum is scheduled to consider proposals for new active travel routes and the creation of a bridleway. Discussions are also planned regarding updates on Chiltern Works, a grant fund for access, and policy and outdoor activity developments.

Active Travel Consultations: Haddenham to Thame and Denham to Hillingdon

The forum's attention is drawn to consultations concerning active travel routes. This includes proposals for a route connecting Haddenham to Thame and another between Denham and Hillingdon. These consultations are part of the council's ongoing efforts to improve facilities for walking and cycling, aligning with its commitment to promoting sustainable transport options.

Proposed Bridleway Creation, Wendover Woods

A report is scheduled to be presented regarding the proposed creation of a new bridleway within Wendover Woods. This item is likely to focus on the potential benefits and implications of establishing this new route for horse riders.

Chiltern National Landscape Access for All Grant Fund 2026-2027

The Buckinghamshire Local Access Forum is expected to review information pertaining to the Chiltern National Landscape Access for All Grant Fund for the 2026-2027 period. This fund aims to support projects that enhance access to the countryside for all users.

Policy Update

An update on relevant policies is scheduled for discussion. This may cover changes or new developments in legislation or council strategies that affect public access and recreation in Buckinghamshire.

Outdoor Active Update

The forum is to receive an update on Outdoor Active initiatives. This likely refers to programmes and projects designed to encourage and facilitate outdoor recreational activities across the county.

Rights of Way Group Update

A comprehensive update from the Rights of Way group is anticipated. This group is responsible for matters relating to public rights of way, including footpaths, bridleways, and other routes, and their update is expected to cover a range of ongoing issues and developments.

Chiltern Works Update

An update on Chiltern Works is on the agenda. This may refer to specific projects or initiatives undertaken within the Chilterns area, potentially related to landscape management or access improvements.
