For a thriving countryside that benefits everyone

We've joined forces with @Colne_Valley, @IverHeathResAss and Iver Countryside Association to ask @BucksCouncil to protect our precious countryside from an unprecedented onslaught of development.

CPRE Bucks is supporting a landmark case against @NaturalEngland for failing to follow the relevant legal process and issuing a licence to fell an ancient woodland, known to contain protected species, including a rare barbastelle maternity roost.

Milton Keynes Council is consulting on a major expansion in the South East of the town, known as SEMK, until 19th April. Do let @mkcouncil know your views.

We support @BucksCouncil in their refusal to approve lorry routes for #HS2. The damage caused by this project will take decades to recover, if at all. https://www.constructionenquirer.com/2021/03/17/hs2-contractors-face-bucks-lorry-ban/

The results from the #StarCount are in! A starry sky is a wonderful sight, but 61.2% of participants in Bucks saw fewer than ten stars within Orion, which is indicative of severe light pollution.

It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Dame Cheryl Gillan at the weekend. She has been our President for many years and a great champion for Buckinghamshire, chalk streams and the environment.

We are looking for volunteers to help us save our countryside. For details see our website: https://www.cprebucks.org.uk/get-involved/volunteering/

The mitigation measures proposed by @HS2ltd will take over 50 years to see any benefit and undo the damage being done right now. We simply don't have that long. #StopHS2 before any more damage is done.

CPRE is calling for a comprehensive bus network for rural areas.

There are so many small villages in Buckinghamshire that are poorly served, but implementing bus services for ‘every village, every hour’ could make a huge difference. #ruralbuses
