260610 Paper 3 - Recreation Access and Infrastructure Manager Report

This document contains a report from the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Recreation Access and Infrastructure Manager, Adam Streeter-Smith, updating the Local Outdoor Access Forum on current and planned work. It covers statutory duties like establishing a new pedestrian crossing over a heritage railway line and creating guidance for public access around peatland restoration sites. The report also details ongoing infrastructure improvements, including replacing outdated gates on the Speyside Way to make it more accessible, planning a safer off-road path in Carr-bridge, and replacing Alltmore Bridge. Additionally, the Park Authority is promoting paths with new leaflets, creating accessible path toolkits, providing funding for path improvements, developing resources for responsible campervan parking, and upgrading Snow Roads installations for better accessibility.
