Fol­low­ing sup­port from local peo­ple in Bre­con at the week­end, a new protest camp has been set up right in the mid­dle of the phase two route of Nation­al Grids con­tro­ver­sial pipeline.

The protest camp is up in the trees in ancient wood­land 4 miles west of Bre­con on the A40 close to Bet­tws Pen­pont church.It is locat­ed at Ord­nance Sur­vey nation­al grid ref­er­ence SN9728728525.
The ancient wood­land is sched­uled for dec­i­ma­tion by Nation­al Grid to clear a path for the 48″ high pres­sure gas pipeline. The pro­test­ers aim to stop the destruc­tion of yet more ancient wood­land by Nation­al Grid and it’s con­trac­tors.

There are over 15 peo­ple on site at the moment and they are request­ing any dona­tions. Please send sup­plies of all sorts, food, water, warm clothes and bed­ding, camp­ing and cook­ing gear, wood, rope, nails, etc etc etc. They would also like any peo­ple inter­est­ed to join them and show sol­i­dar­i­ty in this bat­tle to save our envi­ron­ment.
