SAY NO TO SCOUT MOOR2

As part of our ongoing campaign to protect the heritage, landscape, and ecology of Rooley Moor, we’ve created a poster to raise awareness of the proposed Scout Moor 2 wind farm planning application, and the serious concerns it presents. Click HERE to print the poster.

Cubico Sustainable Investments have submitted a planning application (soon to be made public) for seventeen 180m-high turbines. This industrial-scale development will do nothing to advance Net Zero, improve energy security, or reduce energy costs. What it will do is irreversibly damage a landscape of national significance.

📌 What you can do

Please print the poster and display it somewhere visible—your window, local noticeboard, community centre, or anywhere it might catch attention. Every poster helps amplify our message and demonstrate the strength of local opposition.
Please do not fly-post (i.e. attach posters to public property such as lampposts, bus stops, or street furniture). These will be removed and may result in a fine. Let’s keep our campaign respectful and within the law.

🌿 Why it matters

Rooley Moor is a cherished and irreplaceable landscape. The proposed development threatens:

• • The historic Cotton Famine Road
  • Green Belt and common land
  • Biodiversity, including priority habitats
  • Heritage assets and public access
  • The integrity of deep peat, a vital carbon sequestration store

We appreciate that not everyone shares our perspective. But for those who do, your voice matters. Protecting Rooley Moor contributes more meaningfully to Net Zero than Cubico’s engineered proposal. This application must be robustly challenged, and visible community support is essential.

🖨️ If you’d like help printing the poster, just reply to this email and we’ll make sure one is printed for you.

Thank you for standing with us. We are stronger together – and together, we can protect what matters.

Best regards,

(on behalf of the Say No to Scout Moor 2 campaign)
