The Village Green application has dramatically moved on, and there is to be a one-day public inquiry on 13th January 2011. The venue hasn’t been chosen yet, but we are hoping it will be in Chorlton to make it as easy and cheap as possible for lots of people to attend and show their support – please mark the day in your 2011 diary or calendar.
It is a preliminary inquiry into one very specific but key aspect: the two signs put up by UMIST in the 1970s – one near the entrance from Brookburn Road and one near the path from Jackson’s Boat bridge to Hardy Lane. All that remains of each sign now is a rusty post. The issue of the signs is likely to be the single most important in the outcome of the Village Green application and so we are hoping to get specialist legal advice. Legal advice is expensive, but it could make all the difference to the future of Chorlton Meadows, and that’s why we urgently need your help with donations and supporting/helping out at our fund-raisers.
We are expecting confirmation from HMRC that we can reclaim gift-aid on donations, but we can’t wait for that before getting legal advice. So please donate now, supplying your name and address so that we can follow up about gift-aid when HMRC give us the green light. Please make as substantial a donation as you possibly can!
