Jackdaw will not bring down bills or protect jobs. This is an irresponsible decision from a government that seems to care more about the profits of fossil fuel companies than the money in your pocket or the safety of our planet.

There is no future in fossil fuels. Pretending otherwise fails workers, billpayers, and the next generation who deserve to inherit a planet safe from climate catastrophe.

It is now more important than ever that politicians, campaigners, scientists, and lawyers continue to work together to stop any more climate vandalism at the hands of this government. We must implore them to say no to Rosebank and to halt any plans to allow new oil and gas extraction through tie-backs to existing production facilities.

What the Government should be doing is making large-scale investments in cheap and reliable renewables to safeguard our energy security. They must also offer a package of support to future-proof jobs in the energy sector so that workers in oil and gas can transition to good-quality green jobs, alongside a nationwide home insulation programme and making polluters pay.

Have you a spare a coat/s to offer? (children and/or adults) Rotary can then distribute to organisations, women’s refuges, orphanages, etc., to people who may be less fortunate than ourselves.

It's time to end the uncontrolled and unaccountable US military presence in Britain.

For the past few weeks, this is what our days have looked like. We’ve been busy water testing around Tinker Brook in Oswaldtwistle, following reports of sewage being released in areas where kids and pets regularly play.

Ribble Rivers Trust were kind enough to lend us some water testing equipment which allows us to test for ammonia, phosphates, and E.Coli in our local water.

Today we met up with local people in the community to continue testing around Tinker Brook, which also turned into an impromptu litter picking session!

It was our most efficient session yet, allowing us to hit four different sites along Tinker Brook, with each testing session allowing us to understand more about the effects of privately owned water.

Keep an eye on our page for further updates, as well as the story so far! 💚

All equipment will be provided by us. This is a brilliant opportunity to get to know your local waterways, and ensure that our water is safe for our children and pets to play in.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Three Reform councils - including our own Lancashire County Council, have joined together to oppose the Calderdale wind farm, citing concern for peatland and moorland wildlife.

It's striking to see these councils suddenly so protective of the environment. ♻️

Because here's the record. LSE research found that seven Reform-led councils have scrapped their climate targets since taking power in May 2025. Lancashire is one of them it has deleted its net-zero commitments and plans to stop even reporting its carbon footprint. And this is a party whose own elected mayor (Andrea Jenkyns), asked last summer whether climate change exists, answered: "No."

A party that spent a year dismantling climate action, denying the science while Britain baked through its hottest summer on record, now wants to wear "we love nature" as a costume to block a wind farm.

Concern for the environment isn't a costume you put on to oppose one project and take off the rest of the year. It's a position. Against the turbines, against the targets, against the sewage in our own brooks, or it isn't real at all. 🌿

We'll be watching...

*One honest note: we want clean energy, badly and we want it built in the right places. Peatland and wildlife deserve real protection, not to be used as a prop by people who scrapped their own climate targets. Both things are true. We can hold both.
