The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Caroline Spelman, has announced her intention to appoint new members to five National Park Authorities (NPAs) and to the Broads Authority.

There will be two vacancies in the New Forest, North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales NPAs and one vacancy in the Peak District and South Downs NPAs and the Broads Authority.
The Secretary of State appoints members to reflect the national importance placed on these bodies, with responsibility for conservation, recreation, planning, access, land management and resources as well as reflecting both local and national interests.

Carl Lis, YDNPA’s Chairman, said: “This is a fantastic chance for people to have a hands-on involvement in the management of the National Park, helping to look after this very special place and the communities within it.”

The appointments will commence in May 2012, or as soon after as practical, and are initially for up to four years with the option of re-appointment for a total period of up to eight years.

The closing date is noon Monday 13 February 2012
