Rural Communities Threatened by Mass Evictions
CPRE Somerset is supporting Forced Out - a group campaigning against the sell-off of their homes by the Crown Estate. This is happening in rural Somerset and many other counties across England. Some tenants have lived in these homes for generations and thought they had a home for life. They have carried out repairs to these properties at their own cost. Their children attend the village school and they work locally; finding alternative homes to rent nearby is unrealistic. CPRE is concerned that the homes will be sold to the highest bidder and may end up as second homes. Sign the petition

England’s countryside is beautiful, irreplaceable and finite. Yet increasingly it
is being destroyed by badly planned developments, while local communities are left
powerless to protect the places they love.
We must stand together to stop the destruction
of England’s countryside.
Save the Quantocks!
Somerset County Council plans to cut 90% of its contribution to the Quantock Hills AONB Service next year.
