Call for east of England coast trail to address access-to-nature gap
Briefly

The report found that in most rural areas, people enjoy extensive rights-of-way networks with many lacking in the east due to high-grade farmland.
According to the Department for Environment's metrics, half of local authorities in the worst 10% for access to nature are in eastern England, indicating significant barriers.

The Labour government has promised to increase access to nature by working with landowners, reversing the Conservative plan that previously set a 15-minute walk goal.
