Campaign for National Parks have written to the Chancellor ahead of this week's Autumn Statement, warning of the severe consequences that continued funding cuts will have for the future of National Parks.
With government funding for Nationals Parks having fallen by 40% in real terms over the last decade, National Park Authorities in England and Wales are facing further combined cuts of £16 million over the next three years. This will have a devastating impact on frontline services and bring National Parks to their knees.
