Hani from the Say No Group has sent the following update information to MVCA to put onto our website.
"A short time after the Incinerator appeal was dismissed at the inquiry, Sky Properties decided to challenge the decision in the High Court. At that point, the situation became very much about Sky challenging both the Planning Inspectorate and in turn Salford City Council over the legality of the decision made at the inquiry. The Say No campaign group became an interested 3rd party without direct involvement in any court future proceedings.
