JennyMorgan Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/national-park-a-generic-term-dg5r2t3tp I would think that the National Parks themselves could have something to say on this latest judgement. It would seem that any jumped up organisation can now use the term 'national park' for whatever reason they choose. Surely this now completely devalues the term?

Guest Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Maybe it does Peter, quite a surprising thing for the judge to have said. Either way, it makes valid objections to the title "Broads National Park" even more pedantic now. (exit stage left.....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polly Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 If I declare my back garden as a National Park, could I get government funding and gardeners in green wellies? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it Polly..... "Polly's National Park" It's unlikely to become the soapbox rallying call that the Broads National Park has been on here for so many years now........

JennyMorgan Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 I would hope that National Parks UK will be a bit miffed at this one as quite clearly any organisation, jumped up or otherwise, can now use the term as they feel fit, even for marketing purposes which does seem a tad tacky to me. It can't have been Packman's intention but the door has been left wide open for abuse on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is my case could I get such funding for a JCB digger? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
