Rejected petition Permanently close off the island to the public in the Hampstead Heath main pond.

Recently, Hampstead Heath finished a large scale development, improving the main pond. It includes a large island connected to the bank by a walkway which they are considering to open to the public. In my opinion, the island should be cut off to allow a peaceful habitat for the waterfowl.

This is a matter of protecting what little nature we have in our urban environment. This will provide the birds with a peaceful area to nest and just live in general. The benefit of experiencing these beautiful creatures outweighs the sacrifice of the island.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Hampstead Heath is managed by the City of London, not the UK Government or Parliament.

There's a Hampstead Heath Consultative Committee which provides a forum for local residents and users of the Heath to comment upon the management of the Heath.
