From the Alternative A5 Alliance website
"We call on the responsible members of the government who are involved in transport decisions to look again at the sustainable options available before committing the residents of this county to a future marred by the destruction of farms and homes, lives and livelihoods - caused by this unwise project. We ask them also to consider the vast destruction of our natural ‘carbon sink’ – the fields and trees of Tyrone – for the sake of a theoretical saving of 20minutes journey time."
Climate Camp will aim to support the community resisting the imposition of this roadway and calls on individuals to take action against unsustainable transport infrastructure. People start planning.
DETAILS ON HOW TO GET TO THE EXACT SITE WILL BE POSTED ON CLIMATECAMP.IE CLOSER TO THE DATE.
