CUK Scotland and Land Access

Post by Tinnishill »

Does anybody have a contact email address for CTC Scotland (as was). There is nothing to be found on the CUK website. The only contact email I can find is a generic one in Guildford, where they know the square root of nothing at all about Scottish campaigning.

Top Tip, recently discovered; "Cycling Scotland" is a Scottish Transport department quango and not "Cycling UK Scotland".

Suzanne Forup @backonmybike might be the place to start. https://backonmybikeblog.com/
I’d try her name in front of @cyclinguk.org
eg scotlandchair@cyclinguk.org

Thanks for that. Today's issue is that ScotGov have quietly opened a Consultation on amendment of the Land Reform Act. As far as I can discern the only contributions so far have been from landed interests who ain't going to have the public interest at heart. None of the user groups on the National Access Forum appear to have been consulted. The consultation runs until 25th of Sept,

It's mostly about tracing land ownership and subsidy, but questions 28 and 44 are pretty open ended. I would have thought that "Landowners in receipt of any public subsidy must be able to demonstrate compliance with the Scottish Access Code." would be fairly clear public statement.

Also track down Jim Densham (@JimDensham on Twitter) who, along with Suzanne, does good work in these parts.

Thanks for the tips. I have managed to contact a committee volunteer who says that they will pass on my message.
