Bourne Hill Legal Defence Fund Established

Bourne Hill Legal Defence Fund Established

A legal defence fund has been established to assist Salisbury residents with a legal challenge mounted by their own local authority.

The fund will enable members of the public to contribute to the costs of mounting a legal defence to an injunction sought by Salisbury District Council to prevent District Councillor Paul Sample and other named defendants from entering a park and “Secret Garden” scheduled for destruction at Bourne Hill, Salisbury.

The fund will also be used to help pay costs and legal expenses arising from the action.

The fund has not been set up to pay for any political or lobbying activity. It will not be used to promote the demonstrations, protests or any campaigning activity – merely for legal defence costs incurred.

The Secretary/Treasurer is someone who lives in the Ward and acts as the Treasurer of the local Community Association, Mary Stephens.

Contributions can be accepted as cash donations, cheques made payable to: “Bourne Hill Legal Defence Fund”, should be sent to:

Mary Stephens, Bourne Hill Legal Defence Fund, 34 Wyndham Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 3AB
