Legal Funding

We plan to setup a gofund.me page to raise money for a legal defence at the First Tier Tribunal. The council and FTT has mentioned that legal representation is not necessary. This is far from optimal! Considering that WBC is using residents own money to retain legal counsel and will have a QC representing them at the upcoming hearings it feels disingenuous to suggest residents don't need a similar level of legal representation. We consider it vital that we have a similar level of expertises to argue detailed legal points of view. We're hoping, through crowd funding, we'll be able to raise enough money to do that with a suggested donation of around £50 per person (However, any donations, big and small, would be gratefully received) .

We are now waiting on WBC to publish their case in more detail (which must be done by Dec 21st) so we can try and estimate how much money we need to raise so watch this space and join the mailing list!
