COASTAL ACCESS

How much access should we have to our coastline?

 

Search me, Guv....I'm only a seagull.

The Government wants to change the law and make pretty well every inch of the national coast accessible. But hang on - 70% of the coast is already open to the public.

I have nothing against sensible change but I am doubtful about this idea. Who will decide? How much will it cost? Where's the demand coming from?

The whole issue is now the subject of a "consultation" excericise by the Government. If you want to give your views follow the links below.

I staged a debate in the House of Commons the other night on this subject and you can read it all right now if you press me:
