Weymouth Relief Road

A camp has been set up in an area known locally as Teddy Bear Woods, in Weymouth, Dorset. This camp is in a valley which, although it is in the middle of a Town, contains two SSSI’s both of which would be seriously affected by the building of the proposed dual carriageway, called the Weymouth Relief Road, (known locally as The Brown Route).

The road would have a serious impact on nationally important populations of breeding birds including the Ceetis Warbler, and would see the end of an area used by generations of Weymouth’s kids. The valley also contains land fill sites, which the road scheme seems to be designed to cover up the effects of, without actually addressing the very serious issues involved i.e. the unregulated toxic dumping, the alleged council corrupt involvement and leaching of very dangerous chemicals from an unsafe site. This is a very ecologically sensitive area, so people who are themselves sensitive to this sort of issue, are needed. Contact c/o Fairmile on: 01404 815729.
