CPRE at 2017 party conferences
Party conference season is approaching and we are delighted to announce that we are holding events at each of the three main party conferences: Liberal Democrats, Labour and Conservatives.
As well as holding our own fringe events at each conference, we are also teaming up with likeminded organisations including as Shelter, Sustain, Sera and Greener UK.
This is our chance to get our voice heard, and we will be using the platform to discuss crucial issues such as the need for affordable housing, Brexit and the environment, food and farming, and community housebuilding.

Getting started
It’s a wonderful feeling to be starting my first day in the office as CPRE chief executive. And as part of my preparation, I’ve spent the past month enjoying the countryside that this great organisation has done so much to protect.
The seeds of a new system
Earlier this summer, before we all departed for sunny breaks in the English countryside, the much-anticipated People’s Food Policy (PFP) was published. Coordinated by five organisations including the Land Workers’ Alliance and the Ecological Land Co-operative, and with input from many more, it sets out a long-term view for a better food and farming system.
