Target Tarmac

23rd August Disguised as the eco police Friends of the Earth (Independent 24 Aug 1993) "stormed" into Roadstone House, Tarmac’s HQ in Wolverhampton, at around 7.30am. Wearing green police helmets but otherwise looking much like any other environmental activists, they entered the building when a Tarmac employee kindly opened the door for them. They locked themselves in offices while the police searched the building. They were arrested for alleged burglary, and held for 14 hours before being released.

Later protesters occupied another Tarmac office. Protesters wandered around looking through files, draws, cupboards and generally having fun. Four people were arrested after locking themselves in offices. A third office at the Tarmac depot (where loads of earth destroying machinery is stored) was occupied towards the end of the day.

In 1992 over 40% of all the Government’s road contracts went to Tarmac. Tarmac are one of the largest single contributors to the Tory party. Coincidence? Probably not....
