Getting Involved, Membership and donations: What and how?

Our campaign and how you can help - get involved!

The Galgate residents group has already met on several occasions, most recently on 6th June 2017, when residents from Scotforth and some city councillors also attended. At this meeting we decided to adopt a new name for our campaign against Bailrigg Garden Village - CLOUD which stands for Citizens of Lancaster Opposing Unnecessary Development.

The next steps in our campaign are :

Grow the number of CLOUD supporters - the more supporters we have, the greater our influence will be.

Find as much information as we can (for example on the flooding risk and forecasts of housing demand) to support our objections to the garden village.

Raise awareness amongst city councillors of our objections to Bailrigg garden village

Raise awareness of the South Lancaster Area Action Plan and associated Housing Infrastructure Fund Bid

Raise funds to finance our activities, such as the production of newsbriefs and much more.

Raise awareness across Lancaster as Bailrigg garden village has implications for all across the Lancaster City Council Area.
