Tales Of Twyford

On Sun 28th Nov - the first lunar eclipse since "Yellow Wednesday" (the day Group 4 and police moved in on the Down) - a play, poetry reading and slides told the tale of Twyford and the Dongas, people then partied on St Catherines Hill Early on Monday morning the spirit and the magic of the dragon reawoke as 150-200 protestors invaded the site.

This caused havoc and stopped the road-building machines as they made their way up along the cutting. The police presence was minimal and the action finished rather ironically with Group 4 on a digger and protesters forming a ring around it!

The road monsters hope to open one of the carriageways by March and have started laying aggregate and tarmacing slip roads.
