Nature Reserves: Lancashire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of the accessibility of the consultation entitled Open access restriction at Woodnook Valley (3), published on 20 November 2024.
Answered by Mary Creagh
Natural England (NE) is a relevant authority under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 for statutory restrictions and exclusions on access land. NE has a duty to publish a notice when it reviews these restrictions. NE uses existing Government websites for this purpose, posting a notification on GOV.UK that points to a Consultation Summary Report on Defra’s Citizen Space website. NE ensures its consultation information meets the accessibility requirements for these websites. The accessibility statement for the website is available here. This sets out what steps have been taken to make the website as accessible as possible. The accessibility statement for gov.uk is found here Accessibility statement for www.gov.uk - GOV.UK
