ROLLER BALLS

A protest camp has been set up across the road from Rolls Royce in Derby, who make the fuel rods for Trident missiles. The new site, on the edge of a sports ground next to the RR plant, was taken last Saturday and three tree houses have already been put up. 

This site is urgently calling out for help and the usual gear - ropes, tarps, food, etc. The camp is between Alvaston and Spondon on Raynesway (A5111), three miles out of Derby (round the corner from the Alvaston Bypass protest camp which ran for six months in 2002 – see SchNEWS 340). Site mobile 07914863726.

* Already this weapons plant sees a monthly demo by Trident Ploughshares, on the 4th Monday of each month. For more details see www.tridentploughshares.org
