Save the Ribble

There is a new blog that is dedicated to preserving the Ribble River in England: Save the Ribble. From the blog:

This blog belongs to local people from Preston and South RIbble who oppose the ‘Riverworks’ project, which plans to put a barrage across the Ribble and build over 4000 houses in the flood plain, which is likely to lead to an increased risk of flooding to our homes and cause untold damage to our environment – an area of tremendous ecological significance, and great beauty.

There is a map of the effected areas and contact information for joining the campaign to help with this cause.
