No New M4! – The Big CALM Protest on Tuesday 23rd September
The day after the Assembly re-opens after the summer break; CALM will be holding a protest on the steps of the Senedd, Cardiff Bay at 12.00 noon. This is our chance to tell the government that enough is enough, and that these damaging plans need to be axed, now. This is your chance to tell your elected representatives that you don’t want your money spent on destroying our natural heritage and the atmosphere. Join us in opposing this environmentally devastating scheme! Please pledge to attend our protest event.

For those readers who do not know about CALM, it stands for Campaign Against the Levels Motorway which will cut through 5 miles of the Gwent Levels SSSI, in reens, destroying grazing marsh, affecting the habitat of species like otter, water vole and barn owl (and being certain to cause road deaths of far too many otters and barn owls too), turning three chunks of the Gwent Levels into pathetic isolated ‘islands’ cut-off from the remainder of the Caldicot and Wentlooge Levels, with pollution from the scheme set to spread through the reen system to damage the freshwater life of the whole wetland system.
