Campaign to Protect Rural England

Three Coventry schools are set to have solar panels installed, cutting energy costs and ending their reliance on gas — with the council aiming to roll this out to every school in the city.

We'd love to see more projects like this. Rooftop solar alone could deliver over 60% of the UK's solar target, without sacrificing a single field. The potential is there, on our warehouses, car parks, hospitals and homes.

Let's protect our countryside for generations to come, and make use of the space we already have.

New solar power plan for Coventry schools Applications have been submitted to install solar panels on three schools in Coventry.

We want every town and city to be surrounded by thriving, protected countryside. Do you agree?

We're asking everyone across England to stand with us and call for countryside On The Edge to be protected and regenerated — for nature, for climate, for wellbeing.
