In Lincolnshire, there’s a growing community-driven endeavour to safeguard the remaining green spaces from development. These residents, often labelled as ‘not in my back yard’ activists, are challenging the negative connotations attached to this moniker. They insist their resistance represents a commitment to preserving Lincolnshire’s vulnerability, rather than posing as a hurdle for progress. The threat of urban expansion to these crucial natural spaces has triggered a plea from community members for growth strategies that endorse sustainability and respect the distinctive scenery of the county. Through their efforts, they underline the significance of offsetting development with conservation to provide future generations the joy of experiencing the lush green spaces that characterise our region.
