Do not include National Parks in Freeport zones

Closed 689 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe there is no good reason for including National Parks in areas designed to have different economic regulations to support business. We are concerned that including National Parks in these zones could lead to changes to their status, or public access to them.
Why are Dartmoor, the North Yorkshire Moors, and other areas of outstanding beauty included in the boundaries of the proposed freeport zones? These areas should be excluded from any UK freeports.
