The Malvern Hills Trust challenges 40 public petitions opposing the Malvern Hills Bill, demanding "direct and special" interest, sparking criticism over transparency and public engagement.
The Malvern Hills Trust is challenging up to 40 of 50 public petitions opposing the Malvern Hills Bill, requiring petitioners to prove "direct and special" interest to be heard, excluding residents and levy payers.
Letters describing opposition as "intimidatory" have drawn criticism, with Malvern Town Council calling the move coercive and questioning costs paid from trust funds.
Council petitions are exempt from challenge.
The trust defends the legal process, citing expertise of appointed firm Sharpe Pritchard, while critics warn it undermines public engagement and transparency in the governance reform.
