Outdoor Alliance writes to Welsh Government about closures to paths and access land

Members of the Outdoor Alliance (including SWOAPG) wrote on Monday to the Welsh Government expressing our concerns about the ‘blanket’ closure of footpaths and access land in Wales during the Covid-19 crisis. The letter asks the Government to provide clearer information for the public about what areas are closed and about what they regard as ‘acceptable’ daily exercise; to re-open areas where closure is not strictly necessary; and to ensure that this action does not lead to widespread denial of public access. The full letter is available here.

Thanks to Ramblers Cymru, the Open Spaces Society and the BMC for taking the lead in this action.
