STOP!, REVIEW, RETHINK! Asking the EA and SLDC to pause development on all three phases of the Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme and initiate an urgent independent review of the environmental, cultural, carbon, heritage, amenity impacts, and spiralling costs.
Our wild river gorges have been left undeveloped for centuries, and are the last refuge of a wealth of precious animals and plants…
They are under pressure from development for hydro electricity and from effluent and polluting runoff from nearby development.
There is a culture of ‘it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission’ among developers, where trees are felled and rivers clogged ‘unintentionally’.
Many of these plans go uncontested because they never reach the public eye. Even those with little concern for the environment.
Our last free flowing rivers and wild places are increasingly under threat from damaging development and loss of legal protections.
Save Our Rivers aims to provide those who care with the information and knowledge on how to use existing legal structures to fight back. Through lodging objections via the planning system and by responding to government consultations we can give the public an effective mechanism to keep the places they value safe.
Save Our Rivers believes everyone, wherever they live, should have a voice in the future of our National Parks and wild rivers.
