Newbury Bypass video archive

kinokast | 03.04.2008 13:45 | Analysis | Ecology | History | Oxford | World

Nearly 3 hours of neatly collated video from the Newbury Bypass evictions in the winter of 1996.

Very last century, but good for inspiration...

Nice one for posting

Thanks for putting this up. I was at the protest and now realise how wrong we were. The traffic pollution levels dropped by a massive amount after the by-pass was open and now the old traffic jams are a thing of the past which has helped a great deal with road accidents

It is time the movement accepts that mistakes have been made in the past and that by learning from them we can target real threats in the future, Newbury by-pass was a case where we got it wrong. Nothing bad about making mistakes, just important we learn from them


anyway thanks again for having the guts to put this archive up.

Thanks


Possibly but...

It's important to remember that the Newbury Bypass protests weren't actually about a small town in Berkshire... It was about the Tories huge road plans for the future... The outcry over Newbury put a stop to all of that. It was a outright victory.

For every protester that was dragged from the trees in Newbury a road in the UK was scrapped.

Besides if everyone simply used a bike or campaigned for a decent reliable public transport system then 25,000 trees, sites of special scientific interest, national trust land, designated areas of outstanding natural beauty, archaeological sites, nature reserves etc etc etc - would still be there.

The Newbury Bypass protests stand as a monument to true democracy and it's integral voice of dissent.
