Dear Town and Parish Councils
To enable STAUNCH to continue our legal battle against inappropriate, speculative developments we are working with Crowd Justice (and with the support of our brilliant Legal Team) to raise funds to launch our final legal battle – to Appeal the Appeal Judge’s recent decision against STAUNCH. Without further funding, we will not be able to continue our campaign and it stops dead in its tracks…. it’s spades in the ground. We hate to ask, so many of you have already supported us, but without further financial resource, we fail.
And we simply MUST win. We must protect our community from inappropriate megawarehouses and logistics on Functionally Linked Land to a Special Protection Area of international importance, recognised as Northamptonshire’s ‘jewel in the crown’. We must prevent the enormous increase in HGV movements and traffic on roads already groaning and operating far beyond capacity, with alarming increases in fatalities and we must ensure competent authorities are bound by their statutory duties versus playing handmaiden to acquisitive developers with a greed agenda.
Our appeal goes live at 5pm on Sunday 30th August. Evidence shows that early donations help generate momentum and hopefully we will reach our goal.
Monies go directly to our legal team. If we don’t reach our goal any monies will be returned to you.
If you can donate, however small, that would be hugely appreciated. If you can’t donate please can you share this post with friends and family on WhatsApp and Facebook and by any other means.
Thank you very much from all at STAUNCH
