Campaigners call for urgent meeting over Expressway
Mix 96 also reports on NEG's Campaign and multiple attempts to get a meeting with Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
NEG have written to Grant Shapps three times now requesting that the group is part of any review of the proposed Ox-Cam Expressway and that this is extended to include the over inflated housing targets planned for the Ox-Cam Arc. Grant Shapps announced the “review as a priority” during the election campaign.
As the only response NEG has received has been to request NEG contact the Transport Secretary again after the election, the group has now requested a meeting with Grant Shapps to discuss when a review might take place, who would be involved and what process would be involved.
You can see NEG’s press release here, and Mix 96 article here.
Frustrated? Want your voice heard? Sign our petition here!
We urgently need your help.
Your donations are needed now, to help us run the campaign and pay for political consultants and other professional experts to bring this campaign to the attention of Westminster as well as local politicians.
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.
Your donations help us to spread information about the Expressway, run and build support for the campaign:
£10 could pay for one roadside Correx poster
£15 could pay for one roadside poster on a wooden stake
£20 could pay for one A1 printed colour poster for our pagoda display
£35 could pay for 250 A5 printed leaflets for the campaign
£70 could pay for one pole and two panels for our travelling pagoda display
£150 could pay for one feather flag for our travelling pagoda
£180 could pay to run this website for one year
£300 could pay for a 3 minutes of an Expressway Story
£500 could pay for a 5 minutes of an Expressway Story
A greater or other amount could contribute to the cost of professional support for our campaign in general and in preparation for Planning Inspectorate hearings
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.
