Tree protest in Belle Vue Road, Stroud
Posted on 06. Oct, 2013 by Philip in Politics & Campaigns
Panoramic film by Matt around the Abercairn Site, at the end of Bellevue Road where there is local opposition to the planned development of 14 new houses to be constructed on the site. Direct action has been employed to save a 100 year old apple tree, and badger sets. See SNJ report here and Stroud Life here. Other videos from Matt of the protest here.
