November 2024
Dear John
From the autumn budget to Trustees’ Week and exciting news from CPRE Lancashire,
there’s a lot to tell you about this month. We’ll cover chancellor Rachel
Reeves’ recent budget announcement and what it could mean for our countryside,
celebrate Clare Balding’s inspiring hike along the Greater Manchester Ringway,
and highlight some of our amazing trustees. Plus, we’ll recap the March for
Clean Water alongside the movement that sparked it to protect our rivers and
seas.
As we head into November, the final days of autumn are ahead of us and nature
has a few more treasures in store. Now is the time to look out for migrating
birds like waxwings, late-blooming fungi, and that final flash of autumn colour
before winter settles in.

OUR TAKE ON THE AUTUMN BUDGET
At the end of October, chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered the autumn budget, and
from affordable housing to bus fares, we've outlined what we think it means for
the countryside and rural communities. We also highlighted the chronic
underinvestment in the countryside – and urged the government to recognise the
transformative potential of our rural economy.

CLARE BALDING HIKES THE GM RINGWAY
Earlier this month, Clare Balding spent time hiking the GM Ringway, Greater
Manchester’s new 200-mile walking trail which was broadcast on Radio 4.
She was joined by Andrew Read, the trail's creator, and volunteers who help
maintain the route, and together they explored Stage 6, from Strines to Marple.
The trail was established as a permanent resource, increasing access to the
countryside for Greater Manchester by our friends over at CPRE Lancashire,
Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester and The Ramblers.

TAKING A STAND FOR ENGLAND'S RIVERS
On 3 November, we joined
[[link removed]] over 140 organisations and 15,000 people as we marched for clean water in
London.
Every river in England is polluted with a toxic mix of raw sewage, agricultural
runoff, and chemicals—devastating our rivers, ecosystems, and the rural
communities that rely on them. Wildlife, farmland, and public health are all
under threat. Yet if we act now, Britain’s rivers can recover.

CELEBRATING OUR TRUSTEES
Last week, we celebrated Trustees' Week and took the opportunity to honour our
amazing Trustees, who work tirelessly with CPRE groups across England. As a
federated charity, we’re lucky to have such dedicated Trustees volunteering
their time and leading the way in their local communities to protect and enhance
our countryside. Thank you for all that you do.

LISTEN BACK TO RARE EARTH ON BBC RADIO 4
How can we build green infrastructure without harming the countryside? Our CEO,
Roger Mortlock, joined experts on BBC Radio 4's Rare Earth to discuss this question, exploring the impact of recent budget measures on
planning and the environment. Alongside Emma Pinchbeck, CEO of the Climate
Change Committee, and Professor Matthew Kelly, Roger debated the future of
sustainable development in rural areas.
