The resistance!✊
What a day in Grasmere with over 500 people standing up against the unsustainable, commercial development of the @lakedistrictnpa
Many thanks to all who braved the cold and wet conditions especially @terrybnd @timfarron @maxinthelakes @FriendsofLakes
This nasty little page seems intent on doing down many local efforts with little thought or intelligence behind its comments. A real shame such an important issue as sustainability will suffer from this confused and pointless account. ✊

People power? Hundreds in Grasmere today from far and wide, despite the awful weather on a march against the commercial threats Lakeland has faced in recent years #lakedistrict #environment Food for thought perhaps. What are our national parks for? @BBC_Cumbria @timfarron

“This is a place of land and lives interwoven.” Peek at my day today filming the lovely @woolismybread up Little Mell Fell. Phone pics of my camera’s viewfinder as I’m currently in one of my locals defrosting! Scenes for ‘Life of a Mountain: Helvellyn’ ⛰📽 #lakedistrict

@FriendsofLakes district and @SaveGrasmere say their "day of activism and celebration the Lake District National Park" will still take place on 1st February 2020 after plans for gentlemen's yachts on Grasmere were withdrawn.
We have won a battle but the real fight is on to Save Our @lakedistrictnpa. An amazing piece in @guardian today by @NParveenG, who deserves massive thanks for support, please follow and send her any concerns you have about the future development on the Park. Join us on the 1ST!
Look at that beautiful view with true ‘recreational launches’ not the kind Lowther Estates are trying to suggest their Ten 40ft residential Houseboats will be. Save Grasmere and protest with us on the 1st of Feb #Grasmere #lakedistrict #houseboatsoffgrasmere
It’s going to be a beautiful day! #SundayMorning #Sunrise #Grasmere #LakeDistrict @StormHour @ThePhotoHour

Mass protest planned over Lake District 'commercialisation' theguardian.com/uk-news/2020…
A great piece by @NParveenG on our fight to save the @lakedistrictnpa. For all info see our Facebook page facebook.com/houseboatsoffgr…. Shame about the fake news from @lowthercastle, it shows CEO David Bliss is not fit for his role...
