Save Sandscale Haws' wildlife from development
In 2023, we asked you to object to plans to build a holiday resort near Sandscale Haws. You rose to the challenge and the developers withdrew their plans.
Unfortunately, they've now submitted new plans, which they say are more sensitive to the local area. We strongly disagree and we've raised our objections. Will you stand with us to help save Sandscale Haws' rare, threatened wildlife?
