Across England, access to nature is deeply unequal. Despite knowing the significant benefits of walking, the UK Government is not taking action.
Did you know that:
- Less well-off neighbourhoods in England have worse access to green space than those in wealthier neighbourhoods?
- Tens of thousands of hectares of woodland are off limits to the public?
- The UK is one of the least “nature connected” countries in the world?
And yet, a quarter of the way through its term, the Labour government has made no meaningful progress on its pre-election promise to improve access to nature in England.
- A promised Green Paper has not yet materialised
- A planned path audit was shelved
- Ministers are not meeting with access organisations
Right now, there is a risk this will be the first Labour government since the 1940s not to improve access.
