M66

On December 10th a meeting and route walk was held at Oldham near Manchester. Plans against the next stage of the road are under way. A court date for the eviction of the camps is set for Thursday, December 14th. On November 28th, work started on the drainage tunnel. This will be three quarters of a mile long, and will drain surface water away. There is no filter system, spillages and other shite will pour into the River Medlock. As workers were turned away, portacabins were sneakily moved in at 1am. Work went slowly as actions continued throughout the day. A couple of trees under preservation orders have had their branches torn off. Council Officials have promised to follow through with fines.

'Burns Security Company' who are not usually associated with roads programmes are being used. Target their offices.

Write to the camp - it's a morale booster and a legal demonstration of an established dwelling: No M66 Campaign, The Woods, Lumb Lane, Droylesden, Tameside, Greater Manchester.

Give this campaign the support it deserves. Evictions are feared in January/February. People and experienced tree climbers are needed - more walkways & tree houses need erecting. 0161 627 4862, 0161 628 4727.
