Hello,

Firstly thank you for signing our petition to Save Liverpool Street Station. We appreciate it. As of 27th August, 22,273 people have now signed, and many have kindly shared the petition too.

We are now at a point where we need to ask for your help. Today we launch the Fundraiser to create a fighting fund to Save Liverpool Street Station https://justgiving.com/campaign/savelivstreet. The developer and Network Rail have deep pockets - we are small charities. We need your help to ensure that we have the monies to pay for costs related to a public inquiry which we expect. This would finance essential activities such as expert witnesses, legal fees, plans for alternative schemes, campaign materials, research, or other advice or services.

We know that times are financially tight for many, so we make a suggestion – if everyone who signed the petition gave us £5 we would raise enough monies to go above our target. However, if you would be kind enough to give more we will reach our target more rapidly and potentially have more funds to work with. You can easily Gift Aid your donation as you make it which will increase the value of your donation by 25%, so it is worth doing.

The Save Liverpool Street Station fundraiser is on Justgiving https://justgiving.com/campaign/savelivstreet

Thank you so much for your contribution to saving our heritage.

Public Meeting 
The City of London planning department has had Sellar’s planning application for the station since July. Once this is validated soon our Campaign Committee will start to work with experts to counter the application. At this point Secretary of State Michael Gove may call in the planning application meaning it will go to a Public Inquiry and that he will make the final decision as to whether planning permission should be granted. Michael Gove recently made a momentous decision not to allow M&S to demolish their Oxford Street headquarters and his decision was based on many of the same arguments that apply to Liverpool Street Station too on grounds of heritage and CO2 emissions. Once we have looked at the planning application we aim to hold a Public Meeting which has been funded by our campaign President Griff Rhys Jones. We will be in touch with dates and times of the meeting later on. 

Thank you for your support to Save Liverpool Street Station.

Kind regards,
The LISSCA Committee
