Chairman’s Report 2019

This has been another year when we have done no more than keep up with the Planning agenda and I am not sure that we have really even managed that. It would be nice if we could address other issues, but we are not managing to monitor planning in most of Wychavon properly, let alone campaign on other issues within the remit of CPRE nationally. The problem remains not having enough volunteers.

A major item this year will be campaigning landscape issues. We have commissioned a report on the Clent and Lickey Hills, which will be launched at the AGM. We are also pushing for protection of the Teme valley above Knightwick. Much more of this will appear in more detailed reports that follow.
