“A £1 toll on every vehicle entering a national park, with exemptions for buses, trains and local residents, would raise a huge sum…” This idea (or National Park congestion charging) has been discussed for at least a couple of decades. Would need careful design & significant political will to do

Brilliant submission by Guy here. It's essential that everyone who wants to see richer ecosystems in England also contributes to this consultation, however briefly, as many vested interests will defend the status quo. It's the first time in my life that we've had this chance. Let's not waste it.

Real leadership from Welsh Government with a 5% rise in National Park Authority funding, contrasts with news of a staggering 9% CUT in England. This, after a decade of austerity, and coupled with inflation and NIC increases, will cut very deep and undermines delivery of nature and climate goals.
