Campaigners in Bucks opposing Ox-Cam Expressway write open letter to Government
The Bucks Herald and the Buckingham and Winslow Advertiser report “The ‘No Expressway Group’ (NEG) are demanding that the Group be included in the recently announced ‘priority review’ into the road and that it should be extended to the associated one million homes.
“The letter also reaffirms the Groups belief that the scheme should not just be ‘reviewed’ but cancelled. NEG spokesperson Olivia Field said:
“Whilst we welcome this ‘review’ it is imperative that it is indeed a properly conducted undertaking including evidence from our Group. Local people are understandably concerned that this review may be something of a sop to local people to diffuse opposition to this outrageously destructive road until after the General Election. There is widespread and very strong opposition to the road, so much so is that it has become a major issue in the General Election and rightly so. “

We urgently need your help.

No Expressway Group believes there is no need for an Oxford-Cambridge Expressway, nor the over-inflated housing targets associated with it, and we will actively campaign against it and support other organisations with the same objectives.
Our environment is a national asset which is critical for everyone’s health and well-being. We must not let it be destroyed.

Please note:
The No Expressway Group has a group bank account to which the Chair, Secretary and Treasurer are signatories. The group will publish accounts on noexpressway.org each year which will be audited by an accountant from outside the NEG group.
If any funds are left at the end of the campaign, these will be donated equally between RSPB and BBOWT.
