Solsbury Hill - You can't kill the (Twyford) spirit

You saw it here first in AU9, and the latest anti-roads camp is up and already very active. It has become the natural rural successor to Twyford Down. Solsbury Hill hopes to be the rallying camp for the summer. Bath EF!ers and SOS (Save Our Solsbury) were desperate for people in the middle of March, and sent the movement this message:

"Opposed by many local people, the Scheme will destroy vast areas of common land, farmland, trees and hedgerows, including a large slice of Solsbury Hill, a popular local beauty spot where an iron-age hill fort can be found. Also under threat is a badger sett with up to 10 adults and between 1-3 litters of cubs, and a newt pond. 20 homes will be bulldozed. So much of what I care about is under attack here.... and what for? Road-building in the 90s is clearly such a pointless, outdated and tragic waste of everybody's time, money and natural environment".
