At Save Eccleshall, we are committed to raising awareness of the threat posed by unsustainable development — not just within our community, but across the wider region and beyond. By working with local and national journalists, we are ensuring that Eccleshall’s voice is heard and our concerns are taken seriously.
This page brings together all the media coverage our campaign has received so far. Here, you’ll find links to news articles, interviews, and features that highlight our cause, share residents’ stories, and explain why our fight matters.
We will continue to update this section as our campaign gains momentum in the press, helping to keep the public informed and our message in the spotlight.
