In March Due to this road being built, despite much opposition, a swathe of our beautiful countryside has been destroyed. The land used for this road stretches from Bullinghope on the A49, directly past Dinedor Hill and through greenbelt land to the Rotherwas industrial estate.
To read the history behind this road, go to Members' Page. This page has a link to our latest newsletter (June 2007) THE LONG GOODBYE I can see the diggers through To see more commissioned work by Amanda, produced for CPRE, click here You may be aware that a 4000 year old archaeological find has
been made, whilst constructing this road. Amanda has also recently written a poem on the 'Rotherwas Ribbon' and graciously has allowed it to be published here, as well as at www.rotherwasribbon.com Campaigners are currently fighting to avoid this find being 'encapsulated for future generations'. How much damage could occur to this ancient pathway (unique in Europe) from the vibrations caused by HGVs regularly travelling over it? The debate rages at the moment and if you want to have your say or help with the campaigning, the following website, www.rotherwasribbon.com has useful suggestions on how you might help. English Heritage have yet to make a decision on the scheduling of this ancient pathway - your support would be invaluable. |
