We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to implement a Bill to establish statutory public rights of access to land and water for recreational and other purposes. The bill should enshrine access rights and responsibilities for the public in the same way that the 2003 Land Reform (Scotland) Act encourages co-operative use of the outdoors for healthy, low impact recreation. This Bill must enshrine public rights of navigation for inland water, and permit access to and along water. It must remove the lack of legal clarity and restrictions which act as a barrier to sport and recreation and the promotion of Wales as a welcoming place for healthy recreation, tourism and adventurous activity at all levels of participation and enjoyment.

Didn't we do this last year? Pretty sure I filled something out.

Where are things with this? I must admit, I've not been keeping up to speed.

This is a new petition, started today (not by me but I've signed it).

There was a similar petition last year, but I don't think it was as clearly focused, and it wasn't hosted on the Welsh Assembly website. So this might be the one that counts. When they are assessing support, they won't add on the votes from last year, so my view is to keep signing.
