Reclaim The Valleys II

As Celtic Energy continues to destroy the South Wales Valleys, the direct action campaign to stop opencast quarrying goes on.

The present sites are being sustained throughout the summer and despite Celtic Energy’s incompetent efforts the campaign continues to evolve. Whilst holding the sites is important it must be remembered that taking the fight directly to the enemy offers the most effective results. Celtic Energy are in trouble.

Helped by the success of the campaign, opencast mining is back on the public agenda in South Wales. Coupled with increasing public awareness of Wales’ ecological crisis, their operations are meeting more resistance than ever before. The pressure being put on them is working and they may stop the Nant Helen quarry extension. To help this happen there will be an intensive three days of action starting on Wednesday 28th August. To increase it’s effectiveness it would be best if people arrived before the Wednesday start. Resources are scarce so it would be best if people brought what they could, especially vehicles, tents and communications equipment.
