Our Green Belt is under threat

Cumberworth Environmental Community Action Group has been set up with the purpose of protecting our Green Belt and all that it represents.

Help us to save…

Trees and woodland under threat from a proposed development at Upper Cumberworth

Our ancient woodland

These ancient woodlands have stood the test of time, long before us, and are filled with majestic trees and rich biodiversity. We believe they have every right to thrive and remain safeguarded for future generations to enjoy.

Our countryside

This beautiful countryside serves as our village’s vital "natural filter," purifying the air and enhancing our environment. It's not just a space for wildlife; it's also a perfect retreat for walks and our local school enjoys day trips with the children. We are committed to preserving this precious haven for everyone to enjoy.
Wildlife under threat from a proposed development at Upper Cumberworth

Our wildlife

These fields are home to over 50 key wildlife species that have been identified. This is their habitat, and it deserves to be preserved.

Our environment

Our natural environment is a remarkable ecosystem that sustains our lives in countless, often unseen ways. Let’s commit to protecting it for the benefit of all.
Threat of increased traffic at Cumberworth

Our roads

Barnsley Road is already busy at peak times. And with the Wavin Quarry planning recently gaining approval it is set to be even worse. How much more can one village take?

Our children’s future

Class sizes in our area are already larger than they should be. The addition of over 123 new homes will only increase this pressure. Local schools are already full to capacity. We must act now!
