The Right to Roam in Parliament - we are all enclosed

 REWILDING AND THE ABILITY TO ROAM FREELY AND WITH RESPONSIBILITY. NICK HAYES AND GUY SHRUBSOLE ARE SAYING IT TOO. NICK’S LATEST ON TRESPASS WILL BE ARRIVING TOMORROW. THIS IS A LATEST POST.

MPs are speaking up for our Right to Roam. But is yours?

Dear all,   MPs are speaking up for our Right to Roam. But is yours?   In a great sign that our campaign is gaining ground, more and more MPs are signing up to a new motion calling for a greater Right to Roam.   A new Early Day Motion tabled in Parliament by Caroline Lucas MP calls on the UK Government to “bring forward legislation to extend the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 to include rivers, woods and Green Belt land.”At the time of writing, 22 MPs have signed it, from almost every party.But that still leaves plenty of MPs yet to sign – is yours amongst them?   We need to get more MPs signing the motion to support a greater Right to Roam – can you ask yours?   Simply find your MP’s email address here and send them a one-line email saying: “As your constituent, I ask you please to sign EDM 1068, in support of a greater Right to Roam.” Remember to include your address so they know you’re a constituent.   Now is a good time to be challenging MPs to stand up for access to the countryside. We’ve all felt the importance of being able to get outdoors over the past two years, and how much nature means to us. With the 90th anniversary of the historic Kinder Scout Mass Trespass looming, the Right to Roam campaign has been helping spark a series of mass trespasses and marches across the country.   But if you can’t make one of the planned trespasses, don’t worry – we absolutely still need your help. And one way you can help out is by contacting your MP and asking them to sign EDM 1068. Because ultimately, we don’t want to break the law; we want to change it. And together, we’re going to.   Much love, Nick, Guy, Jon & the rest of the Right to Roam crew Attachments area
