This document contains an update on the Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum's work. Park Authority staff are working to redevelop a section of the Speyside Way, and a planning application has been submitted for the Braemar to Keiloch Path. Community path leaflets are being redesigned, and publications and posters are being updated. Ranger events and education programmes have taken place, and vehicle signs have been produced. A project is underway to foster a dog community and create dog-friendly spaces, including a 5-year action plan. An application was submitted to the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) for the Cairngorms 2030 project, with a decision expected in December, and if successful, the project will receive £10.7 million in funding.
