An illustrated guide

to Britain’s
controversial
landscape

blitzandblight.com is a growing resource of information about changes in Britain’s landscape and the contention they cause.

The project looks specifically at places where decisions have been made, or a campaign has been led, for aspects of them to be either removed or somehow altered. Its aim is to widen discussion about the harms and benefits of demolition and new development , as well as the results of inaction.

When it was first set up, the website included only informative articles, examining the background of controversies but offering no bias. It is now open, however, for original writing by people involved in disputes and allows them space to explain their position in as much detail as they need. The project itself remains without an agenda and welcomes contributors from both sides of an argument.

Please contact info@blitzandblight.com, if you’d like to contribute an article about a dispute you’re involved in. It doesn’t matter whether this is about somewhere already covered on the website or somewhere else entirely. It may be in the built environment or the countryside, whether townscape, architecture, infrastructure, wasteland, transport, public art, street furniture, graffiti or litter.

Corrections and suggestions from visitors are also very welcome.
