Fund peat bog restoration to hold up the rains and reduce the impact of flooding

Petition Details

The flooding in Cumbria, Yorkshire and Scotland could all have been reduced if the government had properly funded peat bog restoration, helping hill farmers and other landowners restore their land where peat bogs have been drained, with transitional compensation for loss of amenity or income.
