TREES BEING FELLED IN DALKEITH NOW - People needed now, and people and food and tat needed over the next few days, especially climbers and midnight site builders Tree felling started yesterday. Already about 12 big old oak and birch trees have been chainsawed down. The pixies and the little folk appeared about 5am today. By the time the chainsaw wage slaves turned up for work this morning there were walkways, banners, and lots of hippies in the trees, So the chainsaw wage slaves are enjoying a paid day of hanging around waiting for bailifs. There are people in trees in langside, along salters road, and in a small but beautiful site that had already been set up at castle steads next to the river esk. PEOPLE NEEDED NOW, and people and food and tat needed over the next few days, especially climbers and midnight site builders. The planning permission for this road dates from way back in 1992. Since then, the Scottish Executive has recommended that a multimodal trasport sudy is done for this entire transport corridor before any road building goes ahead.The council's public consultation about the road is still sneaking quietly around the area, and the opportunity to respond is open until 9th December, but that hasn't stopped the senseless destruction of the area. A guy in a suit, claimimg to be a representative of the Executive, but refusing to give his name, angrily told everyone that they were tresspassing and would get into trouble. the hippies responded with monkey noises, and the unidentified suit stumbled off with his top lip quivering. Come and bring us chocolate, come and join the fun! basic directions... dalkeith is about 7 miles south east of edinburgh - leave edinburgh on the A7, or else come off the edinburgh bypass at old craighall roundabout and follow signs for dalkeith.
