On Sunday 21st Jan, anti pipeline campaigners took their cause to Clydach Indoor Market to raise awareness and hand out information about the controversial National Grid Gas pipeline. They were joined by Rhythms of Resistance Samba Band, who came to play in solidarity with their campaign.
Local people received flyer's and posters and expressed their support for the protest and their desire to get more involved. Unsolicited contributions to the campaign were gladly given.
Unfortunately after one man became aggressive and threatening, the event came to a premature end.
The terrible carnage that has already been inflicted on the environment has encouraged the local anti pipeline campaign to grow in strength. The campaign has attracted enthusiastic support from the UK and international visitors.
The Rhythms of Resistance Samba Band also supported yesterdays awareness campaign in Brecon town centre, which involved an exhibition of photos showing the destruction caused by the pipeline and an information stall . Again there was strong support in Brecon with over 90% of those spoken to being totally against the pipeline.
A Safehaven Network spokesperson said "The people of Wales are supporting this campaign with renewed vigour. Support is coming from all over the UK. International anti LNG groups are also sending their support including the Bahamas and California. We already share solidarity with the Rossport camp, and have been in regular contact with Pierce Brosnan's group in California."
"The pipeline protesters along with Safe Haven Network intend to spread the word right along the route of phase 2 of this controversial project and beyond. Other pipelines are being planned by National Grid and we are already in contact with people in those areas. "
"Resistance is growing. How far it will go is anyones guess".
