Dear Wicklesham Quarry Supporters,
In the last few days of the CrowdJustice Appeal this week, please help me to show our support for the dedicated legal team who helped me bring our Judicial Review. If the online petition's 740 signatories were to donate £5 each, our total for this appeal would reach £5,000! Please will you help me to get there by making a donation this week?

Thanks to you the campaign to Protect Wicklesham Quarry from Development has reached many people, and continues to raise important questions that remain to be answered.
* What level of protection can "one of Britain's richest palaeontological localites" expect?
* Are planning conditions for the restoration of high value landscapes damaged by quarrying worth no more than the paper they are written on?
* Does the UK's support for the Convention on Biological Diversity fly out the window once there's money to be made?
* What confidence can the public place in laws to protect vulnerable habitats and endangered species?
In spite of our shared efforts over the past 3 years, Wicklesham Quarry SSSI and Conservation Target Area is still not safe. But local people will continue to monitor, question, challenge and publicize the failures of the local authorities who have: -
* misrepresented the status of Wicklesham Quarry in Faringdon Neighbourhood Plan;
* allowed Priority Habitat to be blatantly trashed;
* adopted a policy that the High Court has declared unlawful because it conflicts with the Local Plan.
Wicklesham Quarry's story is not yet finished, so please keep watching!
