“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
