Half of the British population lives within half an hour of a National Park or AONB. The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs launches a call for evidence to explore how access can be improved and communities better supported. As Environment Secretary Michael Gove stated: “We want to ensure the people who live, work in and visit these cherished places have a say in their future. I look forward to hearing from everyone who shares an interest in conserving and enhancing them for the next generation.” This is part of the National Parks review.
The call for evidence closes on 18th December.
