We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition No Open Access - No Agricultural Subsidies/Grants
We, the public pay huge amounts of subsidies to land owners and farmers, many of whom are already wealthy. We want Open Access / Right to Roam / Camp to be a condition of receiving Agricultural Grants / Subsidies from the Government. If a landowner bans access they forfeit all Grants & Subsidies.
More details
We believe it is wrong that farmers/landowners with huge tracts of land get money from the public purse when it is not possible for people to fully enjoy that land or spend a night outdoors. All open moorland & national parks are national assets and it should be for the nation to decide their role, not one wealthy landowner. In the light of this it is time access was linked to payments to landowners. Right to Roam works in Scotland, and we want action to protect these rights in England.
