We Did It

I was very pleased to see that the Government has said today it would NOT sell the public forest estate after an expert panel called for the 258,000 hectares of woodland to remain in public ownership.
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman pledged that “our forests will stay in public hands”, more than a year after she was forced into a U-turn on a bid to privatise England’s forests following public outrage.
So if like me you were enraged enough to give your MP some stick (pun intended) and/or sign a petition, give yourself a pat on the back.
