We are urging peers to oppose an amendment to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill which aims to remove long-standing public rights on green spaces when the land is sold by a local authority. The amendment will be debated in the House of Lords on Monday: https://t.co/Vc2odv9Dx9

We have called on Wiltshire councillors to reject the Network Rail’s proposed closure of the Penleigh level-crossing in Westbury. The plan will be considered on 8 October, and the proposal would force walkers to use a circuitous one-kilometre diversion: https://t.co/1R5dSBYnvu
