BILL TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE COMMON LAND PUBLISHED
Common land in England and Wales would be better protected from development and the ancient rights of commoners safeguarded and enhanced under legislation published today.
The Commons Bill would protect commons from development, allow them to be managed more sustainably, improve protection from neglect and abuse, and modernise the registration of commons to ensure all commons enjoy the same protection.
