OUTRAGE Appeal

We are approaching a critical period for the fate of Stonehenge Farm and, in order to continue to get our message across to the decision-makers, Outrage needs to raise funds. We appeal to everyone who supports our campaign, to donate as generously as they can.

So far we have managed on very little. We have had a donation from the Council for the Protection of Rural England, a few donations from individuals, and the generous gift of all our printing costs. Apart from that, everything has been done on a voluntary basis. Outrage committee members have put in huge amounts of time on research, letter-writing, report-writing, attendance at planning consultative meetings and meetings with the planning officers, not to mention running up phone and travel bills.

Before the Oxfordshire County Council planning committee meeting on May 19th, Outrage decided that we needed the help of a professional media consultant. This resulted in excellent coverage in the press and on local TV. It was money well spent. We would like to do this again in advance of the next OCC committee meeting on July 21st, but we have very little left in our account.

This is a cause that affects us all in Northmoor, Standlake, Stanton Harcourt and Sutton. Please help us to win it. Send your donation payable to Outrage to: John Downes (Outrage Treasurer), Greenfields, Church Road, Northmoor, Witney, Oxon, OX29.

Thank you.
