CPRE in Redcar & Cleveland at work
Our local group in Redcar & Cleveland contributed to this successful campaign. Redcar & Cleveland joined CPRE NY some three years ago and are now incorporated in the new constitution of the Branch.
The Branch looks ahead
CPRE North Yorkshire is run entirely by volunteers who give their time, expertise and commitment freely to the charity. We work to protect over 3200 square miles of North Yorkshire, that includes: TWO National Parks, THREE AONB's, HUNDREDS of conservation areas, THIRTY-TWO miles of heritage coastline, TENS OF THOUSANDS of heritage assets and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of acres of agricultural land. It's a diverse landscape ranging from the gently rolling green dales to the brooding moors on to a dramatic coastline with a heritage covering the breadth of British history including Roman times, Viking times and the industrial revolution. We respond to threats from planning policies or applications that put our countryside, market towns and rural villages in danger. We campaign for the right kind of development in the right place at the right time for the right reasons. We need a living, working countryside, not a museum or a theme park. We promote a common sense approach to planning based on objective reasoning and well researched policies. We're trying to give as much help to as many people as we can. That's what charities do!
