Sand and Gravel Protest at St John’s College – Tuesday 28th May

A very successful protest was quietly held outside the doors of St John’s College attended by 65 villagers.

School children from St Peter’s Primary School wore air pollution masks and handed out leaflets to passing students explaining why we were there.

We received good responses from the students who up until yesterday were unaware of the situation.

The Students Union are now raising the matter at their next  meeting.


The Daily Mail visited Barford last week and ran the story on Saturday 1st June

INTO THIS

♦ The quarry will produce deadly silica dust that can cause lung cancer,
asthma, heart disease and COPD. The prevailing winds will carry this
dust directly towards a primary school risking 1000’s of children’s
lives.
♦ The quarry will destroy 220 acres of prime farmland which is
desperately needed in these uncertain times.

♦ The quarry will devastate wildlife, ancient hedgerows and heritage
sites.
♦ This is AGAINST St John’s college own environmental policies.

HOW CAN YOU HELP STOP THIS?

♦ Supporting us on twitter #LandNotSand
♦ Email Professor Snowling (St John’s College President)
