Defra's habit of Boxing Day announcements, it has yet to implement last year's, the welcome repeal of 2031 cut-off for claiming unrecorded highways. This year's is not new at all, National River Walk @ramblers.org.uk @openspacessociety.bsky.social campaignerkate.wordpress.com/2025/12/26/b...

Government's proposed new National River Walk a damp squib says @openspacessociety.bsky.social -it's not new, but on existing rights of way. Priority should be green paper on access to nature, and new legislation. www.oss.org.uk/new-national... @ramblers.org.uk @naturalengland.bsky.social

Good news! The attempt by the Duke of Beaufort's Somerset Trust to take part of Clyne Common at West Cross for housing development has finally been refused. We're relieved that the unique land has been saved for all to enjoy: bit.ly/4pMQK2j

We have called on Wiltshire councillors to reject the Network Rail’s proposed closure of the Penleigh level-crossing in Westbury. The plan will be considered on 8 October, and the proposal would force walkers to use a circuitous one-kilometre diversion: bit.ly/3WqoaGx
