Stourbridge, Wolverhampton and Southern Dudley Anti-Bypass Campaign - June 2002
YEW FOOLS
Campaigners against the Stourbridge, Wolverhampton and Southern Dudley Bypasses are mourning the death of a 2,000+ year old yew tree which was on the proposed route. The tree was on top of Wychbury Hill, site of an Iron-Age Hill Fort, on the site are another 28 yew trees up to 2,000 years old. The bypasses run virtually exclusively through the region's green belt and link with the Birmingham Northern Relief Road and the M5/M42 to form a massive Super-Highway around Black Country and Birmingham. Once again the authorities are building a road that is environmentally damaging and won't solve traffic problems.
The Anti-Bypass Campaign meets every Thursday at 8pm in The Crispin, Church Street, Stourbridge.
