So now a further 4 days have been booked at Northmoor Village Hall, from 10am on Tuesday 29 June until Friday 2 July 2010. Another unmissable date for your diaries.

And how has it all gone so far? It's hard to say much at this stage. We've heard from OCC and from all Hanson's witnesses. We've also heard a large number of residents from Northmoor, Moreton, Stanton Harcourt and Sutton, who all put a very strong case. All except one opposed Hanson's appeal.
It's been wonderful to have such strong support, and to have so many of you come to the hearings. Thank you, it has meant a lot.

Next time, it's our turn - at last. We know we have a strong case, and Charles Hopkins and Terry Kirkpatrick have quarried away at Hanson's evidence, extracting the gritty material we need.
Of course, the whole thing was meant to be finished by now. Everyone has done and given so much, but we can't give up now. So once again we call on anyone who wants to save this last bit of the valley - we need funds and fundraising events to pay for our lawyer, we need all the help you can give.
