Nine Ladies Anti-Quarry Update

Nine-Ladies-Cyber-Pixie-collective | 04.11.2001 21:22

Nine Ladies Anti-Quarry update, a recent report of whats haperning at the protest site in Darbyshire were comeing into our 3rd winter now, and still going strong!!!!

This is the nine ladies Anti-Quarry update: Sunday, 04 November 2001



I thought it time there was a recent update as to what is happening at the nine ladies anti-quarry Campaign in the Peek District National park in Derbyshire.

Winter is approaching again for the 3rd season as the samhain fires die out.
Still nothing is happening with the courts and its looking like the next date will be in May sometime, the protesters are pre pairing to face another winter on the moor.

The resolve and the dedication to see this through no matter how long it takes and no matter happens burns within their eyes. Marshals plc have there work cut out with this crew and its going to cost loads and loads to get them out, if mother nature in her extremes conditions cannot shift them.

Only last month saw the release of Local lee from prison, who has served 6 months in prison for destroying £24.000 pounds worth of equipment belonging to block stone our naughbouring quarry.

On Halloween the pixies stuck again and Trash Trashed the machinery and diggers etc in block stone, damage estimate is unknown as yet but its likely to be high, trash was unfortunately court and has been charged with criminal damage, and is likely to face a jail term, the battle rages on.

If the current UK legal system work for the people and not just for the corporation then there would have been a Legal out come along time ago. But the system is Corrupt and it stinks of back handers and golf club handshakes and pure greed, Marshals plc Who has just currently brought out stanticiffe stone, will have the final say.

On marshals plc website. They have a page about their commitment to the environment and what their company is doing to help preserve our country and national hearatage. And it reads like they really care, and they would never do something like quarry in our national parks.

Is this Corporate Green wash? or do they really care?

Marshals are trying to distance themselves from this matter, saying that its still stanticliffe-stone who has the say. But we know different, and if they want to keep the corporate nice guy image, then they best back down and not quarry such a beautiful place or there will be Media exposure through the usual methods.

We need your help still in support in anyway possible. From writing letters and emails. To making art pictures highlighting the campaign in anyway that you can.
Any donations off any kind, will be good

Remember your protesters this winter for some it's the 3rd time round.
And also remember its not peek park keeping your national park safe for you in the summer, its the protesters.


Peek Park spent thousands of pounds this summer at the nine ladies stone circle with a full research team and arckiologists. And a man in a porter cabin to guard the fence!
They spend a few weeks digging various wholes walking round with various sticks. And very expensive equipment and coats to match. And found an empty cigarette pack And a few ring pulls.

They were also met by protesters who set up there own information bender and stayed there the whole time that they were there to make sure they wasn't doing anything they shouldn't be doing.

Wile they said they trusted us they spend thousands of pounds dragging a big steel porter cabin right up onto the more itself, and installed a 24 hour security guard to guard the fence round the wholes they dug.

Stanton more can be a very hostile place if the weather decides to change, and also at night it's not the most inviting of places to stay. Let alone on your own in a metal hut,
They got through quite a few security guards over the weeks. With reports of strange happenings and being scared half to death. we took them food and coffee on really cold nights and tried to make them feel safe, we did what we could for them.

The outcome of all the money the peek park spent on this little dig. Was a big sod all?
And has done nothing to help save the place. Just more delays in court as marshal's flexes its multi-million pound wallet.

What is definite about this campaign is that the fight will go on, no matter how many people are paid off and who gets involved its going to be very expensive either way to Marshals plc or to the moor land or the local residents, the implications of there actions have such a wide reaching effect that its imperative that we do everything in our power to try and stop this from happening in our national parks.
