Campaigners are going to the Labour Party conference in Brighton to highlight a 58-year wait for the South Downs to be given National Park status.About time, says the Gorse Fox. As my regular reader you will know of the beauty and majesty of this unique landscape. And of the affection that GF has for this area.
The Downs, in Sussex and Hampshire, were recommended for protection alongside 11 other areas in 1947.Amazing how they can rush through a ban on fox hunting, but cannot make a decision in 58 years over the status of this countryside... but I suppose there are no votes in it from the Islington set, nor them 'oop north!
