Let communities own rivers, woods & moors!

Excellent to see @simonforstroud.bsky.social has tabled amendments 107 & 108 to the Devolution Bill to strengthen Community Right to Buy laws in this way.

We need more Labour MPs to support this - email yours:

If we make roads wider for cars and inhospitable for pedestrians and cyclists, the road accident rate will collapse because there will be no pedestrians or cyclists to hit.
