About us…
Save Our Green Spaces is an alliance of local campaigns and organisations, as well as national ones, who have come together to make the most effective use of resources across the South West to fight the RSS and inappropriate building on green spaces. We aim to protect the environment of the countryside, and preserve green spaces for everyone.
We are not a “supergroup” – individual groups maintain their autonomy and decide how much they want to be involved, the hope is that we will enhance the efforts of every group and campaign across the South West, by co-ordinating an overall media strategy, fundraising for projects and sharing ‘what works’. There is an enormous bank of skills and strengths, as well as a lot of energy and passion across the groups and we want to combine these to make the biggest impact possible.
We have a manifesto that each group can endorse as well as add to for their own individual campaign. The concept of the manifesto is to be a “minimum standard” which local groups and Non Governmental Organisations sign up to – all these groups can then integrate the manifesto into their local or National messaging and add specific asks around issues such as transport, farming, environment, affordable housing, food as they see fit.
This website will carry the latest news, maps, videos and reports alongside unique pages dedicated to each area's campaign groups. There is also a Google group where individuals can share information, make suggestions, chat with other campaigns and start discussions. The aim is to facilitate groups across the South West to join together to share information and resources, to offer support for each other and to give them a stronger campaign base. Save Warmley and Siston Green Spaces Group own this site and have kindly made it available to the Save Our Green Spaces coalition.
We aim to be entirely a collaborative coalition, with no one partner being in charge.
