Ashton Court Quarry

A procession to oppose the extension to Ashton Court Quarry, near Bristol, was organised for May 13th by Avon Gorge EF! and Bristol FoE. The procession was banned as 2 others were taking place, but showing their usual respect for the forces of the state the musical, colourful procession took place; going into the centre, the wrong way down one way streets - causing havoc to the city. Afterwards the police wrote to them saying, "...The consequent frustration caused to motorists cannot be overestimated." Glad to learn it was a success! Anyone into a quarry action in Bristol get in touch with Avon Gorge EF!
