D Day had arrived. The Decision Notice was issued by Dorset Council yesterday (2 May). This means we now have 6 weeks to raise the remaining £16,000 in order to fund our Judicial Review case.

Our lawyers are sending the Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter to Dorset Council and the developer to announce our challenge against the legality of the development. If we fail to raise the funds required then we will not be able to go ahead with the Judicial Review. The Council and the Developer will have won by default and be able to go ahead with the massive and destructive Vearse Farm urban extension.

We will be shortly launching our Crowdfunder Campaign with the aim of reaching a much broader range of concerned people. We will also be contacting the local and national press.

In the meantime donations can continue to be made as noted in our “How to donate page”.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT – WE AND BRIDPORT NOW NEED IT MORE THAN EVER!
