Radstock Railstock (Somerset)
Having left a 10 mile strip of railtrack disused for 23 years, British
Rail are now in the process of selling it to Bath and East Somerset
Council who want to build homes, factories etc. Local campaigners and
residents are opposed to the loss of this important urban wildlife
sactuary and safe passage for pedestrians avoiding the bumper to
bumber Frome Rd. According to activists the land used to belong to the
Coal Board whose disused land is meant to revert to common land after
20 years. As the council are unable to prove ownership their eviction
will be illegal, but they have already started preparing for war and
trashed an activists caravan. It can be resisted if YOU get yer arse
down there. Ring 01761 432273 for directions.
