ECO-WARRIORS 'WILL NOT HOLD UP ROAD': [EM (C1) Edition]

Abstract

THE company behind plans to build the Birmingham Northern Relief Road said today that the scheme would not be delayed by a network of tunnels which have been burrowed by eco-warriers.

The road protesters have moved into a derelict cottage off the A38 near Weeford in Staffordshire, just yards from Green Wood where fellow campaigners set up camp in trees last year.

This time the group, which calls itself Midlands Against Super Highways, has dug a labyrinth of tunnels complete with security doors and claim they will chain themselves in for up to a month if necessary.
