- North Essex (Braintree, Dunmow)
- Funded on Wednesday, 25th March 2020
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Story
We are raising money to help fund the fight against the proposed West of Braintree Garden Community (WoB) along with West Tey and East Colchester, being the equivalent of 41,000 new houses and the urbanisation of rural North Essex.
We are raising funds to help pay for a team of experts including legal and transport consultants to help represent local residents at the forthcoming planning inspector‘s hearing later this year. We are working with and supporting CAUSE action group.
Any amount you feel able to donate, however big or small, would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you in advance, your contribution means an awful lot to us and to the protection of the beautiful North Essex countryside that we dearly love.

Today was another chance to make our voices heard and we did. Thank you to those who gave their time to be outside The Millennium Hall to highlight the fight against West of Braintree.
