Motion text

That this House is concerned about the growing problem of fly camping and anti-social behaviour in the Lake District National Park, including littering, wildfires, abandoned tents and human waste; notes the recent Friends of the Lake District survey which found widespread evidence of these issues; recognises the damage being caused to the environment, local communities and responsible tourism; and calls on the Government and local agencies to increase enforcement, support local authorities to expand the use of Public Space Protection Orders, improve visitor education about the Countryside Code, and provide greater resources to protect this cherished landscape.
