Welcome to the JLAF Website

This is the website of the Joint Local Access Forum for Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol City and South Gloucestershire (the "JLAF").

The Joint Local Access Forum (the "JLAF") is an independent statutory group that advises on access to the outdoors in Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol City and South Gloucestershire.  There are 21 voluntary members of the JLAF representing users, landowners and other interests (e.g. those of disabled people) who advise the Councils and other organisations in the area.

This website contains information of particular interest to the members of the JLAF, but it can hopefully provide a useful resource to others.  Please explore this website.   Find out more about the JLAF, read the latest news relevant to the JLAF, or see what's been happening at JLAF meetings and when the next meeting is.  If you are interested in what you find, consider whether you'd like to get involved - come to a meeting, join the list of observers, or apply to become a member of the JLAF.  Use the menu to the left for more.  If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact us.
