Green Spaces Bill

The Green Spaces Bill aims to protect and expand access to green areas across the UK by requiring local authorities to maintain minimum standards for parks, gardens, and natural spaces in their communities. It establishes legal protections preventing the conversion of designated green spaces to other uses without strict justification, and mandates that new residential developments include accessible green areas. The bill also provides funding mechanisms to support the creation and maintenance of green spaces in underserved areas, particularly in urban regions where access is currently limited.
