Judicial Review Challenge to Mountfield

Villagers will have received a hand delivered leaflet today from the Kent Environment and Community Network with the welcome news that judicial review proceedings against the Mountfield development were lodged in the High Court on 8 February by Emily Shirley and Michael Rundell. The challenge is against the failure of the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to call in the application on air pollution grounds. Some 100 people die annually from air pollution in Canterbury. The aim is to raise £25,000 for the costs of the legal challenge. The leaflet posted through letter boxes asks that anyone who would like to contribute or support the campaign contact Emily Shirley at climaterecovery1@gmail.com
