Operation Roadblock

Operation Roadblock has now been and gone; a great success which will be an inspiration to other road schemes throughout the country. It started with 'Lollipop Ladies' helping pedestrians over the as yet not existing road - estimated cost of this crossing: £50,000. In the next three weeks 1,200 people regularly stopped the earth trashers. Pensioners were hauled off of machinery and schoolchildren demonstrated their energy with er... demonstrations. After a month of continuous action, a rally was held at the Bush Wood site, heralding the end of Roadblock 1. Recently security guards have taken the Fillibrook Road site and are taking the houses apart with pick-axes. Maybe they have no working plant left??? The campaign is now concentrating on three fronts: Leytonstonia, Claremont Road and one day per week of direct action. The campaign has issued a call for help for anyone with time to spare to go and help with these worthy projects. Every Monday is direct action day, so meet at the office at 9.30am for a briefing (see also page 2)
