[[link removed]]CAMPAIGNS UPDATE
October 2022
Dear John
There have been some concerning announcements coming from Liz Truss’ new
government over the last few weeks.
From fracking to planning deregulation, the government is currently pursuing a
growth-at-all-costs agenda which could have disastrous implications for our
countryside, communities and climate.
In a leaked email from the private office of Jacob Rees-Mogg
[[link removed]] , there are indications that the government is exploring ways to bypass local
democracy in order to roll out fracking and other fossil fuel projects.
We want to ensure local people get the final say on any application for fracking
in their area which is why we’ve launched a petition in collaboration with 38
Degrees – read on to find out more.
And it's not just local democracy that's being attacked, but nature too. In
response to this attack, we've signed a joint letter to Liz Truss alongside
several other national environmental groups including RSPB, National Trust and
the Wildlife Trusts. You can read the letter here

As National Hedgerow Week comes to a close, we hope you’ve found some time to
join us in celebrating all the benefits hedgerows bring and all the ways you've been helping them to thrive
[[link removed]] . Read on to find out how we're marking the end of the week.
Now that we're well into October, we're starting to experience those crisp
mornings, chilly nights and cooler breezes that are common for this time of
year. But what does that mean for your countryside walk, and what wildlife might
you find during this month of change? Read on to find out.

JOIN OUR CALL ON THE GOVERNMENT TO RETHINK ITS PLANS ON FRACKING
The government wants to fast-track fracking against the wishes of local
communities who have rejected it time and time again. In response, we’ve
launched a new petition with 38 Degrees to ensure local communities get the
final say on any application for fracking in their area. Thank you to everyone
who has signed it already - if you haven't yet, there's still time. Find out
more and take action below.

‘DEREGULATION ON STEROIDS’ – OUR RESPONSE TO PLANNED INVESTMENT ZONES
Former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's proposed investment zones would strip away
the protection of the planning system from swathes of the countryside,
threatening many of our most loved landscapes. If these plans go ahead,
developers will be given free rein to industrialise our countryside, changing
the face of rural England for generations to come. Read more on our response and
how you can support below.

A COUNTRYSIDE WALK IN OCTOBER
While September is typically regarded as the start of autumn, we don’t normally
feel autumn’s bite until we move into October. As the temperatures begin to
drop, and daylight hours dwindle, the natural world is preparing for winter in
all kinds of miraculous and spellbinding ways.
