I am grateful to the late John Prescott for two things in particular, his announcement 29 Sep 1999 that @NewForestNPA & @sdnpa would be national parks, and his leadership on the Countryside & Rights of Way Act with greater freedom to roam @Campaign4Parks @RamblersGB

[Kate Conto @RamblersKate]

Pleased to see @UKLabour putting access to nature at the heart of their Countryside Protection Plan. Too many people are missing out on the benefits of being active outdoors and connecting with the natural world.

My interview on @BBCFarmingToday @HillFT about England Coast Path at Osborne, IoW @EnglishHeritage @NaturalEngland https://t.co/TkthHzSIP8 8.56

[Kate Ashbrook @CampaignerKate]

Great story in @iwcponline about our Ramblers' rally today https://t.co/pYjYilbKid @RamblersGB @openspacessoc

[Kate Conto @RamblersKate]

@RamblersGB rally for a truly coastal route for King Charles III England Coast Path on the Isle of Wight @CampaignerKate @openspacessoc

[RamblersGB @RamblersGB]

The England Coast Path is due to open to the public this year🚶‍♀️🌊

But on the #IsleOfWight, a diversion could force walkers inland - taking the path away from the coast.

That's why, right now, our dedicated volunteers & staff are protesting the change ✊

Stay tuned... 🧵

[Kate Ashbrook @CampaignerKate]

This is where the King Charles III England Coast Path should go through Osborne, not inland on a busy A road. Come to the IoW Ramblers' rally tomorrow https://t.co/atnGMd8ai9 @ramblergb @RamblersKate @openspacessoc @EnglishHeritage

We need to unlock the benefits of nature for everyone 🔓👨‍🦽🌲

On the back of @WCL_News' people & nature manifesto, we've joined up with @Team_BMC @openspacessoc @BritishCanoeing to set out how a new #AccessToNature Bill can do just that.

Read the blog 👇

[Wildlife and Countryside Link @WCL_News]

Getting outdoors & accessing nature is crucial to our health💚

But millions of people live without such access🥀

All parties must back an Access to Nature Bill🌱

[Kate Ashbrook @CampaignerKate]

A fine opportuity for him to tell @EnglishHeritage to allow the path along the IoW coast at Osborne, home of his gt gt gt grandma. It's 1 km from house. Alternative is busy dangerous road, a royal embarrassment.

[RamblersGB @RamblersGB]

Success 🙌

@TowerHamletsNow recently rejected a planning application to reduce access to a treasured section of the #ThamesPath

Thanks to local groups, including Ramblers volunteers, everyone can continue to enjoy this lovely riverside route and view of London in the evening 👇

[Kate Conto @RamblersKate]

@Nicky_Philpott @CampaignerKate Ah brilliant, good luck with the talk! Love to see the legendary ice cream van 😄

[Kate Conto @RamblersKate]

@gsoh31 As someone involved in that last campaign, I whole heartedly endorse this message!

[Kate Conto @RamblersKate]

Thank you @innerlondonramb @Ramblers_London!! Working hard to help more Londoners enjoy the benefits of walking in nature

[Will Norman @willnorman]

The London Loop & Capital Ring are routes on the Walk London Network - the biggest urban walking network in the world.

@Ramblers_London have been improving the signage & wayfinding along these routes.

Last week I was delighted host these wonderful volunteers to say thank you.
