ONE YEAR CELEBRATION OF NO-MAC IN HINCHLEY WOOD
Posted by: RAM ( HINCHLEY WOOD, UK ) on December 08, 1999 at 11:01:18:
MONDAY DECEMBER 13TH 1999. ONE YEAR AGO TODAY A GROUP OF LOCAL RESIDENTS, WITH THE HELP OF 'THE E-TEAM', 'OCCUPIED' THE FRONT CAR PARK
OF THE HINCHLEY WOOD PUB. (hinchley wood, surrey )THIS SITE WAS EAR-MAARKED AS A MCDONALD'S OUT-LET. PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY THROUGH THE SITE WERE SECURED AND AN ENORMOUS BATTLE BEGAN. MCDONALD'S WERE DENIED PLANNING PERMISSION BY THE LOCAL COUNCIL. MCDONALD'S APPEALED TO THE DETR. THEIR APPEAL WAS DISMISSED. LOCAL PEOPLE WON A MAJOR VICTORY OVER THIS HUGE AND GREEDY CORPORATION. DESPITE MCDONALD'S PREDICTION OF BEING UP AND RUNNING IN MAY 1999, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONVERT THE PUB. PUBLIC SUPPORT HAS BEEN UNFAILING. THE CAMPAIGN IS AS STRONG TODAY AS IT WAS ONE YEAR AGO ( if not stronger ) you can send a message of support and 'happy anniversary ' to RAM at
