MOBILE PHONE MAST
A mobile phone mast at Broomhill, Brislington, was sabotaged.

NON-PASSENGER RAILWAY LINE
The single track railway line that runs from the Royal Portbury Dock in Avonmouth to Parson Street in Bedminster was sabotaged. This non-passenger line transports cars and fossil fuel to the Midlands. In a wooded area on a straight section of the line the track was cut three quarters of the way through in two places and marked with high visibility paint. A warning banner reading: “Stop: Trees on line” was fixed across the line several hundred yards in front of this on the line. A pile of wood was placed across the line next to the damaged part.

This held up the transportation of cars for only half an hour, but the repair to the line took at least another 4 hours.

4x4s
within the last 6 months both front tyres punctured on 40 4x4s in and around Bristol.

A “corporate entertainment” company called 4-Play, which provides off road driving for 4x4s in the south west, had vehicles spray painted “4-play – blow-job the planet”.
