Government has asked us to consult other people and come up with detailed proposals on:
- exactly where the new boundary should be;
- how many people from each local authority should sit on the Cairngorms National Park Authority Board, taking into account the new boundary.
Please tell us what you think on these two issues by replying to our consultation before October 24th 2008.
