Fighting Fund- Proposed industrial anaerobic digester plant

Dear local residents of Long Crendon, Chearsley, Oakley, Chilton, Shabbington and Worminghall.

Acorn Bioenergy is seeking permission (CM/0022/22) to build a huge industrial anaerobic digester on the outskirts of Long Crendon towards Oakley. The 5.8-hectare site at Hornage Farm would see up to 194 HGVs per 11-hour day passing through our already congested and poorly maintained roads and those of surrounding villages.

We urgently need funds to commission a comprehensive traffic and environmental impact assessment of the proposed development on the villages of Long Crendon, Oakley, Chearsley and Chilton.

We need to raise awareness of this issue within our local community so people can lodge their objection with Buckinghamshire County Council (https://tinyurl.com/4my4n69y) and this means printing leaflets for our amazing volunteers to deliver.

If there are any leftover funds at the end of the campaign they will be distributed to local charities.

Thank you so much for your support.

Say No to Acorn is a group of residents from across villages that will be affected by Acorn's proposal. We are all pooling our skills and resources to stand up for our villages and communities. We are contributing skills we have built up from a range of backgounds including planning, sustainability, media, communications, parish council and the civil service. We have an amazing bunch of volunteers from all walks of life delivering leaflets, and, if you are reading this, you are also part of our community and we thank you. The crowdfunding campaign is being managed specifically by Alex Davis and Ros Finney, both Long Crendon residents. This page will be kept up to date with all expenditure documented publicly on the crowdfunding site. Anyone who would like further information around the financial governance of this campaign please message us via this page.
