New Camposol Legal Platform against proposed biogas plant
ARCHIVED ARTICLE -
Residents, associations and local businesses unite to defend the environment and quality of life in Camposol
The newly formed Camposol Legal Platform Against Biogas, promoted by the GREEN CAMPOSOL Association, will initiate legal proceedings challenging the approval of the proposed biogas plant planned near the Camposol urbanisation, seeking its relocation to a more suitable site away from residential areas.
Residents, local associations, groups and concerned businesses have joined forces to act in a coordinated and lawful manner to protect the community and its environment.
The group has been formally established and will receive its CIF (tax registration number) next week. A bank account will be opened for fundraising purposes, and a GoFundMe page will also be launched to support the legal costs.
While petitions and protests remain valuable, the Platform considers that legal action offers greater guarantees of success, being independent from political decisions.
The first fundraising event will take place on October 31 and November 1 at the Camposol B Commercial Centre, featuring a Halloween Festival with live music, bouncy castles, fancy dress and other activities for all ages.
If the opposition to the biogas project is successful, any remaining funds will be reinvested into local community improvements.
Once the threat of the proposed biogas plant has been resolved, the Platform will be dissolved, as provided in its Statutes, while the GREEN CAMPOSOL Association will continue its environmental and community work in the area.
