Victory Against Tarmac

For 3 years the ‘No Tarmac Quarries At Bestwood’ campaign has been fighting planning permission for 2 sand quarries in Nottingham. Tarmac has now given up and agreed to hand over all the land to Bestwood Country Park.

This campaign has been organised in the local communities in a decentralised and non-hierarchical way. People did everything from letter writing to sabotage and shutting roads to disrupting AGMs. Although very much a locally based campaign it wouldn’t have got this far without the support, solidarity and hard work of folk in the wider EF!/RTS network. They send out a big thank you! Remember kids, Direct Action works!
