Save Oglet Shore & Greenbelt
Speke, Liverpool UK
We are a group campaigning to save Oglet, its surrounding greenbelt land and access to the shore in Speke from being destroyed by the proposed development of Liverpool Airport.
Oglet and the shore runs adjacent to Liverpool Airport, North West from Dungeon Lane in Speke. The fields that lie between the airport runway are designated Grade One agricultural land and maybe the last truly rural area in Liverpool. It is an SSSI, SPA and Ramsar site of international importance for the wetland birds that live there. Sadly, their greenbelt status was removed in 2023 but we still hope to have it reinstated.
Yet this beautiful area, with its woods, ponds and streams, home to bats and many Red list, endangered, farmland birds, and a vital habitat in an increasingly built up area, is due to disappear under concrete if the Liverpool Airport development goes ahead. Our aim is to stop this development.
Join Our Campaign!
We are aiming to stop Liverpool and Halton Council's from changing our Oglet farmland to 'set aside'. We need to protect the many animals and birds who use this land for nesting and feeding. We also want to protect the remaining historic buildings along this land, and preserve them for future generations.
Unfortunately we've recently lost even more at Oglet Farm.
