The Linconshire Marsh Protection Group, founded in May 2008,
is a group of local residents who believe there is insufficient appreciation of the Lincolnshire Marsh’s unique character,
quality of life and biodiversity. We coordinated the successful public campaign against the eco-town proposed for
Manby, and now wish to make a positive contribution to improve the local economy, housing, protect wildlife, preserve historically
significant buildings and promote the area's history and unique culture - by undertaking research projects, hosting events
and working with local government, elected representatives and interested organisations. Its patron is Sir Peter Tapsell,
MP. Prominent supporters include Sir Richard Body, Rev John Papworth and singer Corinne Drewery.
This website is a work in progress. We plan to add sections on wind turbines, examples of bad housing and
tourist sprawl, noise and light pollution, the Marsh’s history and architectural heritage, and its flora and fauna.
We welcome input from visitors to this site, and would like to hear from
anyone who might wish to write for the site, or who wants to get involved with campaigning.
To become a member, or sign up for occasional updates, please contact us at info@lincolnshire-marsh.org,
by telephone at (01507) 339056, or mobile 07948 156749. A regularly-updated blog is also available on this site (see
"Notes from the swamp").
SECRETARY REQUIRED
Our Group requires a volunteer secretary as soon as possible. He or she ought to have
basic computer skills, and be able to attend monthly meetings and produce agendas and minutes for monthly meetings. He or
she will also be expected to help with research projects, maintain a database of Group supporters and help with a certain
amount of (minimal) correspondence. The duties will not be especially onerous or time-consuming, but will require someone
with staying power and a deep interest in the preservation of the Marsh’s character, quality of life and biodiversity.
If you have the right skills, and would like to be part of an active and progressive
campaigning-group-cum-think-tank, please e-mail info@lincolnshire-marsh.org or telephone (01507) 339056.
