The scandalous underfunding crisis deepens for our wonderful parks as more park service cuts loom throughout the UK. [See article link below - at the end]. Please encourage everyone you know to speak out and to lobby their Councils to protect next year's parks budgets. However, it is the Government's cuts to Local Authorities for our local public services that are causing the problem. So please ask everyone you know to sign the UK 'Save Our Parks' petition to step up the pressure on the Government and all political parties to take seriously the future funding and protection of our vital green spaces. 1.
