A year on from the publication of Glover’s Landscapes Review, we urge the Government to publish its response

Campaign for National Parks together with some of our key NGO partners has urged the Rt Hon George Eustice MP, Secretary of State for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, to publish his response to Julian Glover’s Landscapes Review.
