In order to continue fighting the proposed waste recycling and landfill site, we need financial contributions to help pay legal fees, professional fees and related other costs. If the project were to go ahead, we anticipate a significant negative impact to the local tourist trade as well as a substantial drop in house prices and sales in the area. As such we ask you to help us fund this protest. Please make a donation to:
