Write to your MP 

Lots of new MPs were elected to Parliament in the July 2024 General Election - we need them all to know how much you care about a greater right to roam.

Find your MP and their email address by looking them up here on the Parliament website.

Here’s a template email you can use to contact your MP - feel free to adapt it:

​

Dear [MP name],

 

I’m writing to you as your constituent. Congratulations on your recent election to parliament.

 

The Right to Roam is an issue I care about deeply. Access to the countryside is vital for public health and for reconnecting us to nature - yet in England, people only have a right to roam over 8% of the country.

 

In fact, access to nature is hugely unequal in this country – a fifth of English constituencies have no right to roam at all. You can see where this seat ranks in terms of access by viewing this spreadsheet.

 

Please call on the Government to bring in a right of responsible access to the English countryside – by writing to Ministers, tabling PQs on this issue or raising this issue in parliamentary debates.

 

For more information, please read this 2-page briefing from the Right to Roam campaign.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks and best wishes,
