What recourse? A small, 5o-member community doesn't have the resources to ensure they're in compliance, and Ofcom's statement about how smaller players are "unlikely" to be affected is not particularly reassuring.
The "stated purpose" is irrelevant. Even if they are being honest about their stated purpose (questionable), the only thing that matters is how it ends up playing out in reality.
Read the actual text of the law. It creates opportunities to appeal and other options. Another option is for these communities to band together, which seems to be happening.
