A 30 stretch MARSH/YARCOMBE-HONITON

DEAR ALL,

... I live in near Ottery st. Mary right next to Fairmile. I was very involved with the Fairmile protest both being there as well as singing with a group called Heathens All. The reason i am 'writing' to you is that several of us down here are on the case with finding out where the rest of the planned A30 road scheme will go next.

As of today our group has split off to find out route plans and check out viable trees & sites for camps. I would really like this information to be going out to people who could possibly be up for treehouse building and occupation of the route.

This may not be necessary for even two years yet, but we want to be ready when the purchase orders go ahead. The stretch of road will cut through THE most beautiful valley as usual cutting at least 2 minutes off the time it would have taken! jobs for the boys!.

Anyway please ... e-Mail me ... saying how you could help to network people of various officialness and ability to come and start up a camp - hopefully in the spring of 98.

As you come into Devon on the A30 from Somerset the road goes into a dual carriageway for a little while. Presently it soon is funneled down to a good old A road with large trees and hedges. The trouble is the road has a few 'bends' in it so must therefore be upgraded immediatly. The plans are to begin the new road from where the old one begins and then to go on to slash through a wooded valley of exceeding beauty and Goddessness eventually joining up with the dual carriageway that is the Honiton by-pass and on through to Exeter.

The last A30 protest was the most sucessful so far as learning was concerned and more people than before have realised what is going on, i only hope that we can call on new people to come and choose to spend a good while living in this paradise and joining with it before the shit hits the fan.

IF YOU WRITE TO ME I SHALL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF NEWS AND DEVELOPMENTS, THE THING IS CASTING THE WEB WIDE. I AM NEW TO COMPUTERS AND THEY DO DROWN ME IN HASSLE SO I WOULD APPRECIATE A FEW USEFUL HYPERSPACE ADRESSES WHERE I CAN ALSO LODGE (great word) THIS INFORMATION. TA!!!!
