South Downs Designated...
... it's going to be our next national park and if you don't like, you have until the end of February to object or forever hold your piece.

Keen-eyed readers of today's Guardian Media supplement will have
noticed that tucked in among the standard issue 'Brilliant Young
Journalist Wanted For Innovative Plumbers' Trade Mag' adverts was a
full- page South Downs National Park Designation Order.
While it's obviously not as fantastic an opportunity as becoming
news editor of the Plumbing Gazette, it's another stage in the
process of designating the South Downs as England's next National
Park.
DEFRA submitted a designation order on 18 December, while everyone
else was still either hungover from the office party or putting their
slap on, but it means that anyone who has objections to the order
either with regard to specific boundaries or the general principle of
the park has to put them in writing to DEFRA by 28 February,
2003.
For the full monty, see this
page on the DEFRA web site. Nice to see them doing something that
doesn't involve culling thousands of animals, but how exactly are
they going to move the South Downs oop north?
