UPDATE: In addition to the funds here, so far we have £6,900 on client account taking account of new donations received today.

Wrexham councillors' steadfast refusal to adopt its Local Development Plan as being unsound for our community was challenged by a consortium of large housing developers in the High Court in November 2023. Wrexham Council failed to defend the action and, unopposed, the court order quashed two previous votes and ordered a further vote which took place in December 2023. 

Democratically elected Councillors were all warned that if the did not reject the plan at the third time of asking, they risked jail and asset confiscation for contempt of court.

We believe this case will have implications for councillors across the whole of Wales and the UK, as well as residents everywhere who are affected by local plans and applications.

The democratic process has been undermined by a powerful alliance of Welsh Government, large housing developers and others.

The LDP, as it stands, is not in the best interests of Wrexham and its people. 

That's why we're seeking to challenge this fundamentally unfair and undemocratic situation via a court review of the council's decision to adopt the plan by bringing proceedings through the planning court. Time is very tight and we need to raise £6,500 to obtain a legal advice. This is the first step to getting justice for our communities. 

Your support, large or small, is much appreciated. Diolch!
