Over £25,000 has so far been raised through an AXO (Airport eXpansion Opposition Southampton) gofundme page.

Now the group says it has raised its target to £35,000 in support of GOESA Ltd, which is the entity taking the action, towards their £100,000 target.

GOESA has reportedly so far received more than £65,000 from the public, including the £25,000 so far raised by AXO.

There’s more information about the crowdfunder at gofundme.com

Comments from Eastleigh Borough Council, Southampton Airport and GOESA Ltd about the action are included in last week’s piece.

The judicial review is expected to take place in the New Year.
