"Communities in London were today promised powers to protect or restore green spaces for recreation and wildlife.
"Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman said:
"We want children to get out into the natural world. It's good for their health, and it helps them to learn. So we'll be removing the barriers to schools taking children on school trips and teaching them outdoors."
