- Almost 75% of England’s riverbanks ‘off limits’ to public, figures show
Almost 75% of England’s riverbanks are inaccessible to the public, according to data from the Right to Roam campaign. Campaigners are urging the government to establish a right of access to rivers, especially as heatwaves become more frequent. The restriction applies to most river catchments from Cornwall to the Tweed.
