The local access forum is made up of between 12 and 20 members from interest groups such as walkers, cyclists, equestrians, disabled users and landowners.
It advises Conwy County Borough Council, Denbighshire County Council, Natural Resources Wales and others on improving public access to land in the area for open air recreation. It takes into account land management, social, economic, environmental and educational interests.
