Letters

Defra must be congratulated on its commitment to protecting our uplands, yet its actions are resulting in them going up in flames.

Since we are experiencing our worst year for wildfires and scientists are predicting climate change to increase these fourfold it’s astonishing that government policy is making the situation even worse, through rapidly increasing the vegetation fuel load.

We recently sent a letter to the Deputy Prime Minister, who is now responsible for handling the urgent threat of wildfire, highlighting how Government policies are exacerbating the problem.

The growing of risk of catastrophic wildfires has led to fire chiefs demanding that the Government gets to grip with the risk.

The Moorland Association, along with other leading countryside organizations, have written to Defra.
