Last Friday, work on the Sirhowy Enterprise Way (aka Blackwood Bypass) was completely stopped by protesters when their numbers were boosted by a group of about 14 activists from Oxford who had travelled down for the day.

This is a road which will run through what was once a beautiful wood - now a lot of it has been trashed. Among those set to benefit are arms companies and MoD contractors.

Meanwhile, in Oxford, on Sunday 21st, Oxford Indymedia and undercurrents will be having another of their regular film screenings - 'a road to ruin' - about the resistance to the Newbury bypass.
