CPRE Hampshire has established a new pilot scheme with NFU, CLA, East Hampshire District Council and the Environment Agency to find out the levels of fly-tipping on private land and establish new ways of dealing with it. For further details ring us on 01962 779185 or visit the link below.
The pilot project, to be run in 12 parishes to begin with, will trial a number of new approaches. This is part of the wider CPRE Stop the Drop campaign.
CPRE has objected strongly to the proposal for two large turbines proposed for Wether Down, within what will be part of the South Downs national Park.
While supportive of renewable energy per se, CPRE believes that the impact on the landscape for this proposal would be highly detrimental to the natural beauty of the designated landscape. It has welcomed recent comments by Energy and Climate minister, Ed Miliband.
Latest: This campaign has been successful. The application has been withdrawn.
This year's AGM took place in June. As well as the usual updates, members had a chance to meet our new director Anthony McEwen.
There was a talk by Peter Waine, Chairman of the national CPRE, on the work of national office. Margaret Paren, CPRE member who has been appointed chairman of the new South Downs National Parks Authority gave a talk entitled 'The South Downs National Park: How it will work and what it will mean for the county of Hampshire'.
We'll bring a report on the AGM shortly.
Yes - the areas shown on the campaign postcard - Western Weald, Chalk Hills, Lewes and Ditchling - are all in the new South Downs National Park announced on 31st March.
Thanks to all who supported us in this campaign to protect a vital part of our local landscape.
