Residents in Knowle are well on their way to raising enough money to launch a judicial review to challenge a controversial decision to approve plans to knock down the Broadwalk Shopping Centre and build more than 800 flats in its place.
The Knowle Neighbourhood Planning Group fundraiser has been inundated with pledges since the shock U-turn by Labour councillors last week saw the plans to create a ‘Redcatch Quarter’ development on the corner of Wells Road and Broad Walk given planning permission.
In just three days since the fundraiser for the judicial review was launched, almost £5,000 has been donated - and those organising the group said they would ‘pursue every avenue of justice’ to challenge the decision.
