BBC Countryfile Investigates Opencast Mining
03-08-2010 17:24
This contains news that John Craven and a Counrtyfile team visited the Measham area on 3/8/10 to investigate issues around opencast mining after choosing the Minorca application as a case example to show on the Countryfile Programme
MINORCA OPEN CAST PROTEST GROUP
PRESS RELEASE PR 66) 3/8/10 PRESS RELEASE
MINORCA SURFACE MINE APPLICATION TO FEATURE ON BBC1 AS COUNTRYFILE INVESTIGATES THE ISSUE OF OPENCAST MINING.
Up to five million viewers, who watch the BBC Countryfile programme, will be introduced to some of the current issues surrounding applying for new opencast mine sites when they tune into the programme to be broadcast on Sunday August 15th .
A crew were filming for a “John Craven Investigates” slot today and they had chosen to use UK Coal’s Minorca Surface Mine application as a case study.
Steve Leary, from the Minorca Opencast Protest Group who have been actively campaigning against the proposal, said
“When the researcher from the programme first contacted me early in July to say that they were interested in doing a story for the programme I could not believe that this was happening. We had also learnt that UK Coal had just submitted another 600 page document in support of their application. It then seemed that we would have to give the opportunity for some national publicity for our cause a miss as, at the time, we were expecting to have to get our new set of objections ready for a meeting of Leicestershire County Council’s (LCC) Regulatory Control and Development Board meeting on August 15th, already a really tight timetable.
Luckily for us, almost immediately, LCC then postponed the earliest possible date for deciding this application to September 16th, which gave us more time to prepare our new set of objections, get fresh letters of objection sent by our members and supporters to the various councils concerned, Parish, District and County. In addition we now know that we will have time to prepare to lobby and speak at the various meetings where this issue is to be on the agenda yet again.
So I then indicated to Countryfile that we would be delighted to help them with the programme in any way possible. The result was that they came to the area for three hours this morning”.
During the morning John Craven and the crew visited various locations around the Minorca site and also took pictures of UK Coal’s Lounge site outside Ashby de la Zouch, which still waits to be restored, six years after last being used. This, another site for which UK Coal gained only temporary permission to use as a mineral site, has recently been in the news because UK Coal did not seem to be cooperating with LCC in complying the Company’s obligation to restore the site as requested earlier this year.
Steve Leary was also interviewed for the programme, and later a meeting of MOPG members, involving Andrew Bridgen MP, Joanna Crane, Sue Morrell, Terry Morrell, Brian Moseley and Steve Leary were filmed discussing issues to do with this application, especially how it will impact on The River Mease Special Area of Conservation. MOPG are just about to issue their latest Briefing Note on issues to do with this application entitled “The Minorca Application and the River Mease SAC” and this meeting was an opportunity to finalise a copy of the note. This was opportune, as this was one of the main issues that John Craven wanted to investigate.

Formally object to Tesco NOW!
03-08-2010 17:22
Tesco have recently submitted their final planning applications. This is our one and only formal opportunity to object to Tesco opening on Cheltenham Road.Hello hello ...
Tesco have recently submitted their final planning applications. This is our one and only formal opportunity to object to Tesco opening on Cheltenham Road.
Tesco are applying for permission for their shop front. We believe any shop front with Tesco branding would be detrimental to our community as it is completely incongruent with the independent and creative culture that Stokes Croft and Montpelier are renowned for. What's more it will be the nail in the coffin of local food shops like Gallifords, Licata and Radford Mill farm shop.
To email your objection visit http://www.NoTescoInStokesCroft.org.uk
We have drafted a template letter for you to cut and paste from - and to add your own specific concerns to.
We know the summer is busy busy ... but please please do take 5 minutes to email your objection - this really is our opportunity to stop Tesco once and for all and it would be such a shame to waste all our hard work so far ... the Sainsburys at Ashton Gate just got rejected so we know the Council has the power to say NO!
Thanks for your continued support!
LOVE
Claire and the team

Bristol Indymedia Presents - the Bristol Public Première of 'Listen To Venezuela'
03-08-2010 16:22
Monday 4th October 2010, 8pm at the Cube Cinema, Stokes Croft, BristolBristol Indymedia Presents - the Bristol Public Première of 'Listen To Venezuela'
Monday 4th October 2010, 8pm at the Cube Cinema, Stokes Croft, Bristol
Entry £3/£4 (but nobody refused entry for a lack of funds.)
Venezuela has many faces: A South American republic, a former Spanish colony, neighbour to Brazil in the south and Colombia to the west. It has the 7th largest reserves of oil in the world and currently supplies most of the US's daily oil needs.
Politicaly the country has had a turbulent history; wars, revolutions and Coup d'états - the most recent of which was in 2002. Listen To Venezuela takes the viewer into a contemporary revolution and extraordinary experiment in radical democracy and social justice. In Venezuela, people have rejected the savage neo-liberal capitalism that has been imposed the world over. The once marginalised majority have become political actors in a story they have reclaimed from the Venezuelan oligarchy, Western business interests and Washington. This ambitious documentary evokes the scale and difficulties of radical social change in a political and poetic collage.
The directors Mike Wayne and Deirdre O'Neill spent 11 months in Venezuela and made the film while they were working there. They will introduce the film and do a Q&A after-wards.
