Over 4,500 signatures against this route. Two High Court actions against this route.Two Public Inquiries ,where the first appointed Inspector was AGAINST this route-yet what is happening to the voice of the people? It is not being taken seriously by the elected politicians. RESULT: continued protests by the people.

Here are some more pictures of whats been going on this week up at Blackwood.

Unfortunately we lost the appeal in London on Thursday, however we have lodged the appeal again in Cardiff. This is only buying us time at the moment, more people are needed incase the appeal falls through and we get evicted. If you care then we need you now!

Hi everyone,

Just to let you all know, actions are still going on in Blackwood on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but unfortunately the camp is gone. numbers were so few we could not keep it going and the land owners asked us to leave due to one of their fences being cut down. the fence has now been replaced at the expense of Mr.T. it would be nice if we could repay him but the money from our benifit gig seems to have dissapeared, anyone who knows its whereabous please let me know; as that was also due to be used to hire transport for a trip to nine ladies.

Quick message from Mustard:

For those who cant make it to Dublin...
May Day buskers festival, Saturday May 1st, queen street..
the line up so far is Critical Mass cycle ride, City Hall 10 -10.30,
Assemble Queen street 12 noon-ish, for street theatre, music, and food..
9.00 PM Evening gig at the Howardian, Splott
I'd be really grateful if anyone who wants to get involved gets in touch sharpish. And also if people could pass the info on to their friends and acquaintances...
Help is needed with it all really, apart from the gig which is sorted, but posters, food, music, and theatre peeps could help out a lot, anyways,
See some of you soon, and if not have a pleasant weekend vacation in the emerald Isle!

Also...
