Memorandum submitted by the Northern Federation
of Sea Angling Societies (DMB 42)
The Northern Federation of Sea Angling Societies
is appreciative of DEFRA's position on the establishment of a
coastal path and access to the foreshore, however we would appreciate
as expressed in the broad terms of item 3a in the bill, that full
consultation with local authorities, stakeholders and users would
be sought before any recommendation to remove or re-route any
section of the coastal path by Natural England. Whereas we appreciate
Natural England being the agent for the government with regards
to the coastal path and foreshore access, we do expect that consultation
must be sought before any recommendation could be proposed to
DEFRA or any other government department.
