Protesters Occupy a Million Toilets

Activists in Devon have set up a tree protest camp in response to proposals for a Watts Blake Bearne (WBB) Group clay quarry extension - providing raw materials for millions of toilets, washbasins and tiles. The project has not been subject to a thorough environmental impact assesment and the land is protected both by the EU Habitats Directive and the Wild Birds Directive. The company want to divert about 1km of the rivers Bovey and Teign in an area that houses otters, kingfishers, bats and rare fish. People needed in this beautiful part of the country - give `em a bell on 0467 622825 for directions.
