We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to abolish the Lake District National Park Authority or LDNPA and replace it with an elected, locally accountable body. More details
Submitted by Alan Jewitt – Deadline to sign up by: 15 May 2007 – Signatures: 111
More details from petition creator
We believe that the Lake District National Park Authority or LDNPA is secretive, undemocratic, unrepresentative of local needs and opinions and has lost the confidence of those it purports to serve. It has wide-ranging powers, particularly over planning matters, but is not directly elected. Its decisions have a direct effect on the livelihood and interests of local people and businesses. We believe a body with such power should be open, democratic and directly elected.
