Cancer Battler's Parking Fight Sparks Community Fundraiser
16 Aug
Summary
- Shopkeeper Daniel Adams received £10,000 from community fundraising.
- He fought council parking charges while undergoing chemotherapy.
- Adams must pay the council's legal costs of £15,000 this month.
A shopkeeper fighting cancer has received significant community backing, raising £10,000 towards his legal expenses. Daniel Adams, who runs Stationery House in Clevedon, challenged North Somerset Council's new parking charges in the High Court.
Adams was undergoing his seventh round of chemotherapy for stage three bowel cancer when the legal proceedings started in October. He launched the challenge within a narrow window for a statutory review.
Although he lost the High Court case, the community's fundraising efforts have provided crucial support. Adams now faces an interim payment of £15,000 to the council this month, but expressed deep gratitude for the "amazing" public response.
