PLEASE READ - AND HELP SAVE A WILDLIFE SITE FROM MINDLESS GOVERNMENT DESTRUCTION!

[unbelievable2]

DEAR EVERYONE - I DON'T USUALLY CANVAS MY FRIENDS LIST BUT THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND REALLY URGENT!

Some of you may have seen this on Facebook already


Rampisham Down in Dorset - a nationally important SSSI - is under imminent threat of destruction by the construction of a huge solar farm. The local council have taken the decision to approve the planning application despite contrary scientific advice, local protest and a perfectly viable alternative site close by!

Please take a minute to look at the e-petition and then SIGN  IT!!!!  We are asking for the decision to be called in for review by the Secretary of State. We have only a few days to convince Eric Pickles to do this, so every signature is vital! Please help! And then pass the message on!

Signed and shared on Facebook!

A relative of mine had a farm in Dorset which he bequeathed to the National Trust when he died, so I can just imagine how he would have felt about this. I sincerely hope that the petition gets the desired result!

Thank you! It's the second petition I've signed on this...

Thank you for signing! This is going to be such a test case for how Pickles stands up for the National Planning Policy Framework, which the council should have been following. But he doesn't have a good track record....

Sadly we're talking Dorset planners here... combined with Pickles, to say I don't hold out much hope is putting it mildly /o\
