Massive local opposition to the destruction of the last two remaining lakes at Radley has been ignored by power company RWE npower, and the decision to fill these lakes with toxic ash has been rail-roaded through by Oxfordshire County Council.
A squatted field centre has been opened on the lakeside to stop this envieonmental disaster, and they go to court on Wednesday 10th January to fight their eviction. Show your support!

Radley Lakes squatted field centre are due in Oxford County Court at 10
am Wednesday 10th January for eviction hearing bought by RWE npower. The
field centre was set up to study biodiversity of the lakes and prevent the
dumping of toxic fly ash from Didcot Power Station by RWE npower. Matt Morton,
Oxford Green Party member and environmental activist commented after
visiting Radley Lakes activist camp:
'This weekend I went to visit the Radley Lakes, which has just welcomed
a small dedicated group of activists in a last ditch attempt to stop
N-powers’ atmospheric- polluting-inefficient power-station in Didcot
from pumping fly ash into the last of its ecologically rich water bodies.
This has reminded me of how interconnected everything is: that the agents of
Climate Change are also the same agents of habitat and species loss.
That by working to limit climate change we will necessarily assist in the
preservation of our planets biodiversity.'
They will welcome support to maintain the field centre and stop the
destruction of the lakes.
