WEYMOUTH RELIEF ROAD

It seems the Weymouth Relief Road will not go ahead! The government won’t give the council money for the road. Teddy Bear Woods camp is still going.

BRISTOL - TEMPLE MEADS

Bristol Love and Rockets Street Party was a success. 200 party-goers ate, drank cider, played music, and danced on the Temple Meads flyover for 2 hours.

OLDHAM - BEAL VALLEY

At the Beal Valley Day of Action, work stopped for the day as soon as the 30 or so folk turned up at the site, so not much happened. Amusing story was the undercover cop inconspicuosuly sitting in his car who gave himself away reading Police Journal! More events in September: contact Oldham EF!

EPSOM RELIEF ROAD

Epsom council propose a relief road through green space, funnily enough including an access road to council offices 100 yards away. There is a squat and a camp - all very cosy - the police station and ambulance service are doors away, the fire brigade, bailiffs & courts opposite!
