This Bill would let local councils compulsorily purchase land that is used for public amenity (such as parks and open spaces) for a nominal amount, but only in defined circumstances. It also includes related provisions to govern how such purchases would work and to protect the interests of those affected, with the aim of securing important community spaces when needed.
The Bill had its first reading on 25 March 2026 and is now at the 2nd reading in the Commons. If supported, it would move to committee stage for detailed examination.

This Bill will therefore make no further progress.
