Rejected petition Stop the private ownership of UK public land. The act is an outrageous land grab

The newly proposed governments Infrastructure Act removes decisions to sell or develop publicly owned land from the public sector. In short,very soon, a private company will have the power to sell publicly owned land for Fracking, new nuclear, or whatever else it likes – and the public say.

More details

The Bill contains a clause that will end local decision making over use of publicly owned land. As Schnews puts it, this ends the rights of Council’s:

in granting or denying planning consent, cancels any rights of way or any need to ask the people of England and Wales if they mind losing their parks, playing fields, allotments, woodlands, public facilities or village greens to housing developers, fracking companies, road- or railway-builders. Vote now to stop this outrageous public theft.
