CPRE REACTION TO STATE OF THE COUNTRYSIDE REPORT

Commenting on the Commission for Rural Communities’ 2006 State of the Countryside Report, CPRE Chief Executive Shaun Spiers said:

‘This important report exposes some very worrying social, economic and environmental trends for the future of our countryside.

‘If huge numbers of people continue to flow out of our larger towns and cities in pursuit of the rural idyll, the countryside will become less and less idyllic and more and more suburban - whilst our cities are further damaged by desertion.

‘The challenge is to revive urban living everywhere, and to develop low-impact, sustainable ways in which everyone can enjoy our fantastic countryside without loving it to death. It is arguably England’s greatest asset but in this crowded, fast-changing country it is gradually being lost.’
