more details from Cardiff, the licence to work on the dormouse colonies has definitely been granted (but people are presuming they'll have to make some show of moving them (in the bucket of a JCB) before trashing those sections of the woods. There is still a camp, but as a result of the injunction against the campers, there's been something of a 'tactical withdrawal', i.e. shifting the camp from where it was (right against the route, across the track which is needed for JCB etc access) and up the slopes a bit into the disputed strip of land. The call has come out from the people on site, who are getting severely burnt out and are now facing the digger with its tree-munching arm on their own. They have been advised to stay put in section six areas and wait for legal challenges to the injunction to move on (how can you be injuncted to stay away from your legal home?), but need sorted/experienced campaigners to get down there and consolidate the camp before it falls apart....

The camp is still there, it has been shifted up the hill in a tactical withdrawal from the costains, injuncted land to the strip with disputed ownership, the 'easement' land beyond costain's, which they need for working on. The monster JCB with tree-crushing/snapping/trashing attachments has made it out of its compound and down to the woods despite various tactics to keep it in its cave, and destruction can now continue apace. the campers there need support, in consolidating the shifted camp and trying to stop work. get down there people....

Just had a call from site....

Bailiffs are there NOW - the huge JCB started it's engine while we were talking - they're clearing a path to the Ancient Woods, they'll be there in a few hours.
They just watched this JCB pick up a huge Oak and toss it aside like a matchstick.

They ARE working tomorrow, this is it now - they mean business.
THEY HAVEN'T MENTIONED AN EVICTION, BUT THE BAILIFFS HAVE CLIMBING GEAR WITH THEM.
No police as yet.

If we're going to save these woods people need to get there today to strengthen defences tonight - tomorrow morning at the very latest!



Legalities are still going ahead - turns out the Dormice were found LAST SUMMER and they've known about the Bats since the start so this should have been sorted out before any work started - but they're still going ahead with the destruction!

They can be stopped legally, but until that happens the only chance is for people to get there NOW to stop them before it's too late for the legal bods to do their bit.

This really is the LAST CHANCE to save the Dormice, Bats and one of the last few precious bits of Ancient Woodland in that part of Wales!

PLEASE get there, or tell others who might not have internet access, this next day or two is vital!
Please post this wherever you can!


Thank you xx

That is what they are asking for, but there is a Costain site near you where there will be light security. They think they have a sure fire bloodsucking Private Finance Initiative going here. It is up to you to make them bankrupt and make their insurance prohibitive. Stupid NVDA people getting themselves killed could do that quite nicely. Some people think otherwise. When they put you in the slammer make conditions so bad that Prison Officers go on strike over" Pay And Conditions".

This is an open invite from the Law to vandalise every SSI in the country. It would be a kindness - Euthanasia before Climate Change makes Earth uninhabitable..
