#IncludeCommons- letter from the Minister

“I fully acknowledge the strength of feeling expressed in your letter and the concerns about inequity that you raise. Within the bounds of practical deliverability, prioritisation and available resources, I remain committed to working towards a sustainable way to enable common land to access our schemes. Continued engagement with you and other stakeholders will be essential as options are refined, and I welcome the Foundation for Common Land and your co-signatory’s willingness to continue working constructively with Defra and the RPA as this work progresses.” Dame Angela Eagle DBE MP
