During February and March our statement of claim for a Judicial Review of Council\u2019s non-notified decision, consenting to the subdivision of 215 Houghton Bay Rd for the construction of 13 houses, was being considered and finalised by our legal team led by barrister Graham Taylor. This process was completed by mid-April when our claim was filed in the High Court. We are now embarking on some serious fundraising initiatives outlined in the attached flyer. Thanks for your continued support and valuable time.\u201d Coral Hyam, Chair, Friends of Houghton Valley Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
