Oct 14, 2016 — https://www.crowdjustice.org/case/sssi-and-conservationtarget-area/ Please help me to make the £10,000 target in time to meet the deadline for Judicial Review before 25th October! With your support the Appeal has achieved £7,350 of pledges- but unless we make it to £10,000 we shall get nothing. Please help spread the word by posting the Wicklesham CrowdJustice link on Facebook & emailing it to friends. Yesterday's shocking disclosures that Oxfordshire County Council has FAILED to monitor and ensure the restoration order last year- after seven years of delay - raises even more troubling questions about the Council's involvement in the landowner's ambitions to turn the quarry into an industrial warehousing site. * WHY did Grundon believe they could avoid restoration altogether, by applying for annual delays since 2009-10 which the Council rubber-stamped? * WHY did it take our claims of "abuse of process" in 2015 to push the council into admitting that restoration MUST be carried out? * And WHY did Grundon Ltd feel confident that they could IGNORE the order to restore the quarry with impunity? The longer this disgraceful situation persists, the more scandalous it becomes. A Neighbourhood Plan process has been grossly misused by self-appointed Steering Group members in order to serve their private interests. A quarry operator is bent on doing favours for the same landowner - even at the cost of huge reputational damage and prosecution! And the County Council has quietly averted its eyes and ignored its public duties, in order to let this landowner endlessly pursue his private ambition to make MORE money out of the quarry- rather than fulfill Wicklesham's planning conditions for restoration. The result is a Neighbourhood Plan that FAILS to meet the Basic Conditions- and with your help I shall challenge it in the courts. Please help me make the £10,000 target before we run out of time! My deadline to launch the Judicial Review is 25th October. https://www.crowdjustice.org/case/sssi-and-conservationtarget-area/
