A Tale of Two Road Blockades - Blackwood

Friends of Blackwood | 02.03.2004 18:07 | Ecology | Free Spaces

Tree defenders have been regularly making small blockades on the old railiway track, which is part of the road route and passes the two tree camps. Costain and co who are felling the trees, have to keep removing them to enable access. Not to be outdone, on St. David's Day, contractors themselves erected their own concrete blockade, to block vehicle access to the tree camps!

The Blackwood camp is in court this coming wednesday.

Local support is still high.
