Government bought £1.5m house on HS2 line less than 24 hours before Rishi Sunak cancelled itPlans to introduce new national parks in the Chilterns, Cotswolds and Dorset have faltered, as existing national parks face a funding crisisThey are the UK’s great outdoor playgrounds. Huge, beautiful, tracts of wild land that for more than 70 years have been made more accessible, and more protected from the ravages of overdevelopment, thanks to their designation as national parks.
There are currently 14 national parks in the UK, including nine in England, three in Wales and two in Scotland. Similarly Richard Brown, part of the campaign for the creation of a new National Park in Dorset, said Dartmoor National Park receives 16 times the level of funding as Dorset AONB, despite covering an area that is 20 per cent smaller.
“We’ve been treading water for some time on this and to some extent we slightly went backwards,” he says. While Mr Brown insists “the flame is very much alive” when it comes to the Dorset National Park campaign, those in other areas feel they have had no choice but to give up. “It’s not just that there’s no action on new national parks. There’s also a backwards step where they’re not protecting the ones that we do have and they’re not making sure that they’re delivering what we need from society,” says CNP chief executive Rose O’Neill.
