Hi, my name is Lynda Koukoulis and I am a member of the "Save Brooklands Farmland Campaign".

First of all, a very big THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated towards our campaign funds, hosted signs and helped with the delivery of leaflets. Thank you also to those who took the time to object to the recent planning application for the development of Brooklands Farm. We are delighted to report that c.1,800 objections have now been recorded. We couldn't have achieved this number of objections without such great support, well done!

Next steps? We are expecting this could be a very lengthy and protracted battle, and it is highly likely we will need to commission specialist expertise to help us in challenging the developers at every stage around planning, planning law, or specific areas such as hydrological modelling - and more...... Therefore, we are asking if people could kindly donate to help fund the costs of this expertise.

In addition, if you know of anyone with the relevant expertise who may be able to help us (paid or unpaid) please do let us know - this may include specialisms Please do get in touch with any contacts, thank you.
