BASIC DIRECTIONS- bus to blackwood from Cardiff or Newport (closer). St davids wood visible on skyline on right hand side of valley (if you are coming from Cardiff- on left hand side if coming from the north) a 15 min walk from blackwood high street see directions below. Driving- along high street, find the Asda on right hand side of road-take back road straight on at a couple of roundabouts- find the rock and fountain pub, take road up the hill past the pub up to old railway line. Walk left along track follow the yellow jackets trail of destruction, camps on the right in lovely trees.
The Blackwood Bypass will destroy the last woodland in the area - much of it mature oak and beech, killing rare species such as dormice, bats and sloworms.
It is being built to serve a bomb factory just down the road, and local people HATE it.
Daily actions by Blackwood residents including an amazing amount of local teenagers and younger activists, who are mostly completely new to this but doing great stuff. They are being supported by experienced protesters but more are needed to pass on skills. These actions are slowing the work but more people are needed to stop it completely.
