Minutes:
SE LAF Conference is due to be held on the 19th May 2015 for diaries. Members to inform JW should they wish to attend.
JW explained the updated LAF Engagement Plan produced from Natural England and the online forum called Huddle for LAF members nationally.
Recent publications on Huddle are;
· The DfT consultation about the Cycling Delivery Plan – government 10 year strategy on how they intend to increase walking and cycling across England – JW confirmed the SBC Transport team is attending a workshop on this and may be intending to express an interest. DM wondered if this would be an opportunity to resurrect the “Slough Necklace” (a walking/cycling route round Slough). TE asked what was happening about Slough’s Bikeability resource and if it is still effective as he’d heard Stoke Poges School has banned cycling to school. JW agreed to add this to the next meeting agenda.
· Review of National groups dealing with Rights of Way issues
· Update on progress with Deregulation Bill – is entering the committee stage in Parliament.
