Devon Roads Madness

In the West Country, a road project is looming which threatens to damage local communities and devastate the environment (destroying on ancient woodland, an area of species-rich wetland, and habitats for wildlife, including badger sets). The A30/303 road 'improvement' is being passed off as a scheme to relieve traffic congestion on an already existing road, reduce air pollution and accidents etc etc. Sound familiar? A coalition of groups is opposing the project, including Somerset FoE, CPRE, South Somerset EF! and the Trust for Nature Conservation. Opponents of the Marsh-Honiton stretch of the road (Public Enquiry pending this autumn), are appealing for support and information from groups in the West Country region.
