Democratically elect National Park Authorities & the Broads Authority

Petition Details

The memberships of the National Park Authorities and the Broads Authority are not elected. We think this needs changing to be brought into line with democracy, as per our countries and other local authorities.

Additional Information

National Park Authorities and the Broads Authority have power over planning permission and various other things so we think they must be a democratic authority answerable to those over whom their authority applies.
