Stop the Sale and Privatisation of ALL public Land.
We demand that the Government reject this Bill outright.
Make this Bill public. Have a full and proper debate in Parliament during the day when MP's are there and release media reports to the TV and press about it's progress. Give the Public the right to have their say on such an important and democratic decision.

Why is this important?
The Infrastructure Bill allows ALL public land to be privatised. To includes woods, communally owned parks, rivers, beaches, moors, mountains, village commons and fields The government is selling off the Land Registry to private, profit making interests. Schedule 3 of this Bill.
This Bill was pushed through on it's Second Reading late in the evening the night before Parliament went off for their Easter holidays. This Must be stopped. The Land belongs to the People. No Government has the right to give it away to private enterprise for fracking, developments or any such other without public permission which will be completely denied if this Bill passes into Law. It wrests the land from local Councils and puts it squarely into the Private Sector where anyone with money can buy it up and use it for whatever they want. This is unconstitutional.
