Whatley Quarry - prisoners bailed

Richard Dixon and Rose Browning both jailed recently for 'conspirarcy to recklessly endanger life and cause criminal damage' have been freed on bail pending an appeal. They had both been found guilty of cutting a private railway line into Whately Quarry, which is destroying the Mendip Hills. The rail line was a private line running into the quarry and there was never any danger to life, due to warning lights being placed up and down the track, and phone calls to the media.
