End of Day 2 and the JR has been heard.

The judge will go away and deliberate and may take some time as he outlined this is a “complex” and technical case.

Thank you Crowborough.

[CrowboroughShield @CrowShieldOff]

We are starting early at 10.15am

As always we’ll keep you updated throughout the day

Update from end of Day 1 at the Royal Courts of Justice.

Day1 Lunch- Update from the courtroom.

Unsure why Wealden District Council are paying their KC to observe…. The money would have been better spent participating and strengthening our case

‼️‼️The community needs the truth and we deserve transparency.

We will keep fighting, all the time Crowborough wants us to.

Join us on Sunday 31st at the protest, starting at the Army Training Camp at 10am.

Let’s send a clear message to this Home Secretary.

[CrowboroughShield @CrowShieldOff]

⚖️Crowborough Shield CIC has now issued a fresh judicial review against the Home Secretary, challenging a decision to use Crowborough Army Training Camp as accommodation for approximate 540 asylum seekers.

👐The community remarkably raised enough money to proceed with a new claim in just a few days.

🦾This is further evidence of how strongly this community feels about challenging the Home Secretary’s decision

👏Well done to everyone that contributed - this community is AMAZING!

[CrowboroughShield @CrowShieldOff]

Disappointing though not surprising that @wealdendistrict have chosen not to take action against the decision to use the Crowborough Army Training Camp as asylum accommodation.

It is a complete betrayal of Crowborough to not even obtain the full facts before making their decision.

At the very least Crowborough Shield will try to obtain all the facts before making a decision because that is the right thing to do.

⚖️Information on the claim....

This doesn't just affect Crowborough, The Home Secretary "will bring forward site after site" if she is not challenged.

It is VERY clear that the feeling in Crowborough is we want to continue to challenge the use of the camp.

The Judge made it clear ANYONE can bring the claim and we hope @wealdendistrict step up and take this forward.

If WDC don't step up, and we want to continue to do this, we NEED funds before Wednesday 4th March! After this date there is no further opportunity to challenge the decision to use the camp.

You have donated over £25,000 since Friday's decision which is AMAZING. We have £36,000 outstanding in legal fees and we need another £24,000 to cover the costs of additional prep work and submitting the papers.
