We have launched a campaign to tackle the flooding of #sewage into waterways, homes and gardens.

We want councils to make more use of Grampian conditions which prevent development from taking place until specific conditions have been met.

22 April is #EarthDay . 2024 theme, Planet vs. Plastics, calls for more awareness of health risks of plastics; rapid phasing out of single use plastics; strong UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution, & end to fast fashion. Help achieve a #PlasticFreePlanet , see: earthday.org/earth-day-quiz…

Protecting #AncientWoodland from development is a CPRE Sussex priority. Sussex woodlands now have spectacular carpets of #bluebells . Our partner, Sussex Wildlife Trust, has a guide to its reserves where you can admire bluebells: sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/discover/aroun…

Sunday is #NationalGardeningDay . Growing pollinator-friendly plants helps us slow decline of insects needed for healthy ecosystems & food security. Urban streets can become #WildlifeHabitats & we can enjoy seeing butterflies and bumblebees visiting our gardens or window boxes.

We need a rooftop revolution! CPRE finds rural homes lead on #SolarPower but total energy yield is still low. With right incentives/rules, house, warehouse and car park rooftops could supply power to cut CO2, slash energy bills & protect #countryside . See: cpre.org.uk/news/countrysi…

Today is #WorldWaterDay – the annual United Nations Observance focusing on the importance of freshwater. It’s an opportunity to tell #SouthernWater we’d like freshwater in Sussex streams, not raw sewage. See: cpresussex.org.uk/what-we-care-a… and write to your MP.

Lovely to see this absolutely excellent news. CPRE Sussex joined so many local residents and other groups in objecting to this application. It's all part of ending the role of fossil fuels and protecting our countryside.

Running over two weekends in May, B & H Tree Festival is a free family event with App guided Tree Trails.
