The Save Kingsmead Field Campaign has initiated Legal Action against the Executive decision to appropriate Kingsmead Field for housing. A pre-action letter has been sent by a solicitor to the Council alleging that they have acted unlawfully in the appropriation of the field and that they have failed to carry out an adequate, fair and open consultation with local residents.
In order to finance this
action, the campaign is launching a fighting fund.
"We are appealing to residents, local organisations and businesses for financial support. If you are able to make a donation towards the fund, we would appreciate it very much. We have set up a campaign committee. Our treasurer is a local accountant and all donations will be carefully recorded. At the close of the campaign, any funds remaining will be returned on a pro rata basis to all donors who have contributed £25 or over
