New How to Run a Whole School Litter Campaign
CPRE and The Wiltshire Wildlife Trust have worked together to produce a creative and inspiring litter education pack for schools. The resource pack, includes shocking facts about litter and powerful photographs that show wildlife injured by carelessly dropped rubbish, and the wider damage litter has on our environment. Practical activities and lessons encourage children to understand the problem of litter and the harm it can do to wildlife and the wider environment. Teachers will find the suggested activities and lesson ideas can be related across all subject areas of the curriculum.

New Living, Working Countryside: The Taylor Review of Rural Economy and Affordable Housing

A CPRE briefing

This briefing outlines CPRE's support for the recommendations of the Taylor review: to use planning as the principal means of delivering affordable rural housing, utilise good design in achieving desirable and harmonious homes, and allow community consent and participation in developments. However, CPRE strongly opposes the report's views that public transport links are not required for significant new developments of any significant scale, and that any economic enterprise may be appropriate in the countryside.

New Goodwill payments: Do they benefit communities or bring planning into disrepute
This briefing sets out the findings of CPRE’s investigation of a growing number of cases where developers of new wind farms are offering various forms of payments and benefits directly to local communities, as a means of overcoming opposition to development. CPRE believes that the practice is undermining public faith in planning, and that local communities could get a much better deal if developers are required to work through the planning process. We are calling for the Government to take a range of measures to stamp out the use of goodwill payments altogether.
