02-03-2004 18:07

stopping machinery
Tree defenders have been regularly making small blockades on the old railiway track, which is part of the road route and passes the two tree camps. Costain and co who are felling the trees, have to keep removing them to enable access. Not to be outdone, on St. David's Day, contractors themselves erected their own concrete blockade, to block vehicle access to the tree camps!

Tree Destruction at Blackwood - Pics

01-03-2004 22:41

The whole bank will be levelled
1st March, St David's Day: Pictures from St David's Wood, Blackwood, South Wales, where Costain are building a new road to link together two industrial parks - not that there isn't road access already you understand. A suspension bridge will also be built across the valley further linking the new road to the existing ones. The pictures show the scene along much of the old railway track, however the oldest trees are in the area defended by the two camps. Local support is great, it just needs more bodies on the ground

Protected Species Trashed at Blackwood

27-02-2004 15:38

in a deliberate campaign to get rid of protected species which are slowing down the road building at Blackwood (S. Wales), Costain and sub contractors are felling trees which are clearly marked as having bat roosts onto dormice habitats (also clearly marked and fenced off). On Wednesday they tried to put the evidence through a wood chipper before the local police wildlife officer could get on site, but local teenagers sat on the felled trees to stop them.

From www.ltda.co.uk:

BAN! DON'T LICENSE

Whilst the third world is doing all it can to lose the last of these degrading pedal powered contraptions, some unscrupulous operators are clogging up the streets of the Metropolis with the same slow, traffic halting bikes.
