As a keen walker myself, I am very happy to sign up to the manifesto.

Barry Anderson, Conservative
Where possible we will work to break down barriers that exist – for example the Conservatives campaigned for the Marine and Coastal Access Act and worked hard to improve the legislation before it became law. We want to increase access to our beautiful coastline and would like to extend our coastal path to bring many benefits, for walkers and our coastal communities.

Improving recreation paths (where appropriate for wildlife) is very important, and can help increase tourism and improve people's health.

The cultural barrier is one that I feel particularly strongly about and is the one that I think will be the most challenging to overcome.
