English national parks welcome £4.4m funding boost from government

The 10 park authorities say the shared cash will help them keep visitor centres open and pay rangers, but a long-term commitment is also needed

England’s national parks are set to receive £4.4m from the government to help them protect the environment and support tourism.

England’s 10 national parks will share the funds equally, using the money to support park rangers and maintain visitor and education centres, as well as helping improve public access to the countryside through new trails.
