Several neighbours who live in the California community near Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch have formed a group to oppose to turning the late pop star's former home into a tourist attraction.

According to local activist Bob Field, several people in the Santa Ynez Valley community have formed a group called 'Never!' to oppose any development that might turn the ranch into a tourist destination, reports the Associated Press.

They are seeking reassurances from property co-owner Thomas Barack that he won't develop the site, claiming that such a move would disrupt their tranquil community. They added that it does not have the roads, security or infrastructure to support the crowds that would likely be drawn there as a result.
