Changes to National Park governance

Summary

The Government’s commitment to “…review the governance arrangements of National Parks in order to increase local accountability” was honoured by a public consultation which closed on 1 February 2011. The outcome of the review was a wide range of improvements in the way that National Park authorities operate.

This consultation invites views on the proposed amendment of primary legislation, through use of a Public Bodies Act Order, to implement five specific changes.
