Cubico want to destroy the Cotton Famine Road

The Cotton Famine Road is no ordinary path

Carved by starving hands during the American Civil War, it’s a testament to hardship, resilience, and working-class history — not just a track, but a memorial in stone.

Now, this sacred landscape faces a new threat

Cubico’s Scout Moor 2 wind farm would turn Rooley Moor’s historic hills into an industrial corridor. If we let this happen, the moors won’t be preserved — they’ll be sacrificed.

This isn’t green energy; it’s greenwashing

Scout Moor 2 is the wrong project in the wrong place

We must honour the legacy of those who built this road in pain and protest — not bury it beneath steel towers.

This is more than a fight for scenery. It’s a fight for memory, dignity, and the soul of our uplands.

Say no to ecological vandalism.

Say no to Scout Moor 2.
