Successful Campaigns

26/12/20 Dear Supporters, Shankea has sent you all this message: "It is with great delight that I can inform you all that I have been granted my legal right to remain in the UK. After 18 years of applications, rejections and tears, I can now breathe and live. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who signed and shared the petition. It goes without saying, I have been through a lot and am currently processing the news. As I embark on my new journey, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers." It is truly great news that Shankea can now, at the age of 31, return to her education or get a job; something she could only previously dream of. She no longer has to fear that knock on the door. But it should never have happened. The system that should have taken care of her, and thousands of others, is broken. Today, we rejoice for Shankea. Tomorrow, we will remember the others who are still fighting for their freedom to live in the country they call home.

We Won.

Update: 19/02/16 - We Did it! The local parish council has announced that the deal is done to take over the ownership of the woods from KCC and so the woods are now secure in public ownership for the forseeable future. I'd like to put on record my thanks to Sundridge and Ide Hill Parish Coucil for its support and bravery in taking on a new asset whilst embracing innovative ideas around managing the additional cost. Check out Sundridge and Ide Hill Parish council site http://www.sundridgewithidehillpc.kentparishes.gov.uk/ for updates and if your interested to join, donate, or offer help to manage the woods. My Dog and I thank you all for your support. we are so grateful to you for getting involved and helping to produce such a fantastic outcome. I hope you come and vist the woods soon (even though they are rather muddy at the moment) Well done. Stu Blakemore

25/03/21 We are delighted to share breaking news that the Millstone Point salmon battery farm application has been REJECTED! The North Ayrshire Council Planning Committee has just concluded their discussion of the application by the "Scottish" Salmon Company; the councillors voted unanimously to refuse the proposal. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported on this long journey. There may yet be more chapters to this saga if the decision is appealed by the applicant; but for now we celebrate this momentous decision which rightly acknowledges the special qualities of this area and the vital importance of Arran's natural environment to our wellbeing and economy. With very best wishes, Russ Cheshire on behalf of all the Friends of Millstone Point.
