Resist attempts to despoil an area of overwhelming natural beauty for the financial gain of absentee beneficiaries. Protect an important natural recreational resource. Preserve the rights of residents to quietly enjoy their property and prevent encroachment on their human rights and civil liberties Support the protection of the sites of archaeological interest under threat. Support the protection of the many species of endangered birds documented in the area. Support local graziers in the protection of traditional hefted flocks and in their concern for animal welfare issues. Highlight existing road safety issues. Support the indigenous farming population, whose traditional farming methods have honed this landscape, in their opinions that the ecology will be irredeemably ruined Challenge the pursuance of producing erratic, small supplies of highly subsidised electricity at the cost of destroying the social fabric and 'sense of place' of local communities.
