Climbers Against Pollution

Nottingham based Climbers Against Pollution, successfully stopped work for a day on a car park being built. Construction is under way on what was the old railway station, abandoned for twenty years. The one acre site, slap bang in the city centre will provide parking for 400 cars. This is rather ironic considering proposals for a Terminus Light Rapid Transport System were rejected on the grounds that it would generate too much traffic. Eight people occupied and abseiled down tower cranes. Twenty-five others sat on diggers and protested around the site. There was a great deal of public support, and no arrests on the day. 0115 9822609
