Subject: M74: EMERGENCY LEGAL DEFENCE FUND - CAN YOU HELP?
Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 00:08:44 +0100
This is a one-off unusual email for a very pressing situation. This legal case has implications for us all - should the government be allowed to overturn the decisions of independent inquiry inspectors? Please read the below and if you can, please contribute to the Fund as this very important case is happening next week. Yours, Road Block

M74: EMERGENCY LEGAL DEFENCE FUND - CAN YOU HELP?
*****************************************************************
In an unprecedented move Friends of the Earth Scotland has just launched an
emergency Legal Defence Fund appeal. The launch of the Defence Fund forms
part of Friends of the Earth's attempt to halt Britain's biggest motorway
building project - the £500 million Glasgow M74 Northern Extension.
Friends of the Earth is taking the Scottish Executive to court to challenge
their decision to build the M74 extension - despite the scheme being roundly
rejected by an independent public inquiry.
That court hearing will begin on 27 June. Next week!!!
Friends of the Earth urgently needs to secure at least £25,000 in donations
or loans. The Legal Defence Fund is needed because the group could face a
massive legal bill if the case is lost, putting jobs and important
environmental and community projects at risk.
