Aire Valley

Radical action is getting a little less radical now that 'normal' residents are taking up direct action to stop a luxury housing development in their village. A retired policeman, accountants, housewives and managers are all using section 6 squat law to live in caravans and block the bulldozers from starting work on 92 Bryant homes at Aspen Rise, Sandy Lane, Bradford. Locals took advice from residents of the Rye Loaf Camp at the Bingley Bypass protest, after their letters, petitions and public meetings were ignored with disdane by local councillors. Contractors have started to construct a site fence, although this has not stopped mass torchlight tresspasses whilst timid security look on. The protest is one of several green and brown belt development hot-spots springing up in the Aine Valley. Any activists wishing to help out should call in at the Rye Loaf Camp on the Bingley Anti Road protest site and ask for Oliver. Leave messages at 01274 504 626 - ask for Ben.
