The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress his Department has made on the designation of new national river walks in England.

Answered by Mary Creagh

The Department is progressing plans to designate nine new National River Walks across England, one in each region, to enhance access to nature. This is a priority for us, and we are currently considering several delivery options, as well as reviewing where existing river walks are in place. Further details will be provided in due course.
