no more quarry blasting!
Backwell is a beautiful place but is under threat from the expansion of Bristol airport over head and from Tarmac under the ground.
Tarmac said they will stop blasting at Backwell Quarry this year but have now asked for a ten year extension!
We objected but they ignored us.
We were inspired by the tactics of direct action used by the Co-Mutiny group.
So we went to the quarry and disabled two diggers.
Next time it will be more.
No more blasting in Backwell Quarry!
