As mentioned in the post dated 24 September 2009 headed 'Time's running out' B&NES Council has to complete and purchase the land under compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) before the next round of the funding application.
B&NES Council has, to date, spent at least £3.5m of local taxpayers’ money on the BTP. In addition, it will need to find in excess of £7m to implement the CPOs. There is no guarantee this money will be recovered as the central funding has not been confirmed. This is a complete waste of money on an unsustainable proposal that will only add congestion and pollution to our City. Click here to read B&NES' information on the different CPOs.
We have compiled some information on how to object which may be viewed here. Please note: these guidelines are not intended as legal advice. For those who wish to object, this must be done in writing and arrive at the address given before Friday 23 October 2009.
Anyone can raise objections as a non-statutory objector. Those whose land is under a CPO, and those whose property value will be adversely affected by work carried out on CPO land are classed as statutory objectors and have the right to speak at any CPO inquiry if they wish.
