THE TORIES AND LIB DEMS STOPPED FROM SELLING OFF OUR ANCIENT WOODLAND FOR NOW

Our ancient woodlands and forests are part of our heritage.

The Tories wanted to sell them off.

Changes to the Public Bodies Bill, which was about to go through Parliament, gave Tory and LibDem ministers the power to sell off 85 per cent of our forests – with no protection for public access or biodiversity.



Labour led the successful fight against the plans in Parliament. With your help we put pressure on this Tory-led Government.

The Prime Minister David Cameron has been forced into a humiliating U-turn on this issue. Our ancient forests and woodlands are a vital part of our natural heritage providing environmental benefits and public enjoyment.


Together we made sure the Tories & LibDems knew this land was not for sale, but we need to remain vigilant.
