Extend the South Downs National Park Boundary .

Closed 1,554 signatures

What the petition asks

Just outside the park boundary is beautiful Riverside and ancient woodland countryside. It has extensive views and is well connected with footpaths and bridleways which are extremely well used. There are several Sssi's and sensitive ecological areas.
This much loved area used by tens of thousands in the course of a year is of such ecological and recreational value it should be protected from the ever present threat of development.
