Very happy to be here @SheffArchives where the lovely staff have found me space to work on cataloguing our archive as part of project funded by #NationalLotteryHeritageFund #peakinthearchive #YourWorkplace #Archive30

We have planning experts currently preparing for the examination of the Doncaster Local Plan, and also considering the Green Belt Review of the Sheffield Plan. This essential work costs us money and we would greatly appreciate your support. @theoutdoorcity @FriendsLoxley

@ShefEnvironment @CPRESouthYorks @Bob_of_Hills @LutheBlue @SheafVaHeritage @JUHSheffield @AnneBarr2015 @salthepoet @kingfisherand @GleadlessVTrees @_OliviaBlake Indeed! Thanks for the kind words. Talking about digging into our pockets though, it's worth remembering that even 'organisations of that calibre' don't run on thin air. The charities who're backing us do need tangible contributions from us all in return.

@FriendsLoxley @Bob_of_Hills @LutheBlue @ShefEnvironment @SheafVaHeritage @JUHSheffield @AnneBarr2015 @salthepoet @kingfisherand @GleadlessVTrees @_OliviaBlake As it says in the letter *congratulations*. Stand firm. We’ll stand with you, as we have with countless causes since 1924. // ‘There is no right way to do the wrong thing’ - Yvon Chouinard

This was one of the biggest stories this week - but @CPRESouthYorks is warning while this fight is won, the battle isn't over

Our friends at @CPRESouthYorks have sent a lovely open letter to the Loxley valley. They say the #NoLoxleyTownship campaign has been in the best traditions of Sheffield communities standing up for what's right. You can read the letter here on our website: https://t.co/K5BHQYDim8

We are delighted that an application for up to 300 new homes in Loxley has today been unanimously refused by Sheffield City Council. We spoke at the planning committee about the lack of detail on impacts to protected species and the Local Wildlife Site. A good result for nature!

Our congratulations to @FriendsLoxley for their superb local campaign - we're proud to have worked with you in helping defeat the Loxley township plans. Bad for the countryside, #greenbelt and the climate! Not to mention @peakdistrict

[CPRE South Yorks @CPRESouthYorks]

We're delighted that the highly unsustainable proposal for a new, car-dependent township in the Loxley Valley has been refused by @sheffieldcitycouncil. Having provided @FriendsLoxley we’d like to congratulate them on their campaign, and also thank @SheffCouncil

[CPRE South Yorks @CPRESouthYorks]

We're gearing up for today's momentous decision by Sheffield Council's planning committee on the future of the Loxley valley, threatened by 300+ new houses. We're calling for permission to be refused, in line with SCC's views. Wish us luck!

[Friends of the Loxley Valley 🍃💚🍃 @FriendsLoxley]

Rest. Recreation. Reflection. The peaceful scene in the heart of the Loxley valley this morning. Let’s hope it stays this way after tomorrow’s critical Planning Committee decision. We’re pleased and relieved that the officer report recommends REFUSAL of the township application.

[Friends of the Loxley Valley 🍃💚🍃 @FriendsLoxley]

Our Loxley valley gateway to the @peakdistrict from @theoutdoorcity - autumn trees surround the slumbering old factories; the national park boundary on Damflask behind them. No place for a money-making land grab. We urge councillors to do the right thing today. #NoLoxleyTownship

In 1963 Jean Smart read an advertisement in the Sheffied Star for “someone to help with interesting and varied work with regard to architecture and the countryside”.

[CPRE South Yorks @CPRESouthYorks]

In her inimitable way it is a story full of insight, anecdote, and humour. A young woman from ‘the other side’ of Sheffield entering a philanthropic world of Rolls Royce’, Steinway and maid service.
