Answer
Labour introduced National Parks 75 years ago, and introduced the Rights of Way Act that secured public access and preserved natural beauty.
This Labour Government is committed to empowering Protected Landscapes to become greener, wilder and more accessible to all.
We are actively considering options to ensure Protected Landscapes bodies like National Park Authorities have the tools and powers they need to deliver for people and nature, including through regulation and guidance.
