[[link removed]]CAMPAIGNS UPDATE
July 2024
Dear John
We're ready to work with Keir Starmer and the new Labour government to deliver a
thriving and beautiful countryside for everyone.
In its manifesto
[[link removed]] , Labour committed to doing things we have long campaigned for, including
protecting the Green Belt, creating a land use framework, and making homes more
affordable.
As we enter a new political era, we will be working to make sure the issues that
affect our countryside are kept firmly on the agenda. Scroll down to find out
more.
We're also delighted to welcome broadcaster and author Mary-Ann Ochota as our
new president. Mary-Ann is a passionate advocate for our countryside and natural
world. You can read more about the news below.
Finally, last month the Supreme Court made a monumental ruling on oil drilling
in Surrey. Keep scrolling to find out more.

SUPREME COURT RULING ON OIL DRILLING 'MAJOR WIN' FOR OUR COUNTRYSIDE
We celebrated a major win for the countryside when the Supreme Court ruled that
the full climate impact of the proposed oil development at Horse Hill in Surrey
should be considered. We hope this will signal a major shift away from fossil
fuel extraction in our countryside and towards clean, sustainable energy.
