Room 5525, BBC White City 201, Wood Lane, London W12 7ST Tel: 0845 3011 050 Coast lovers will unite at Brean Down on the North Somerset coast on Thursday 9 August to promote a permanent right of access to the coastline and to express support for a coastal access corridor in England.   A coalition of Britain?s leading outdoor organisations will bring together local climbers, walkers, horse riders, cyclists and canoeists and other sporting groups to demonstrate how coastal access can work effectively by carrying out their respective sporting activities. The Government consultation on improving access to England?s coast was launched in June and closes on 11 September 2007.  The proposals for improving access to the English coast set out four options: a continuous coastal path; legislative access rights along the lines of the Countryside Rights of Way Act (CRoW); voluntary agreements with landowners; or a coastal access corridor – supported by Natural England.  A large number of recreational organisations are also supporting this latter view and are lobbying the government to ensure that the proposal provides coastal access for all non-motorised users.
