Pics from Arundel 2'nd bypass protest march

kriptick | 30.06.2003 01:29 | Ecology | Social Struggles

Protesters walked the proposed route of the second Arundel bypass which threatens to destroy a beautiful part of the South Downs, the river Arun water meadows and many acres of mixed forest.
The 2 last photos are VERY wide 360 degree panoramas and may take a minute or two to download. To see the entire picture, scroll them sideways using the thumb slider at the bottom of your browser.

This promises to be yet another hideously destructive and over the top road scheme. Arundel in West Sussex already has a bypass, this is to be a bypass of the existing bypass. The countryside around here is stunningly beautiful. The water meadows and river Arun will be crossed by a motorway on 30 metre high stilts. Productive farmland will be destroyed and a huge 300 acre wood of mixed oak, Scots pine, sweet chestnut, ash and hazel will be chopped in half.

A protest camp has been set up on the Southern edge of the woods that are under threat. They are in especially urgent need of climbing equipment - they only have one (womens) climbing harness between them - hard to put up rope walks and build tree-houses with only one climber safe in the trees at a time.

The 360 degree panorama still shots were made by stitching about 10 individual pictures together and the colour balance is a little chaotic in one. They are also quite large files but I hope you agree the effect will make the two minute or so download time worthwhile.
