Campaigners paint field in Bristol Airport protest
20.04.10
A giant mural of an airport runway has been painted in a field near the M5 by environmental campaigners to highlight their campaign for greater local consultation on planning projects, the Evening Post reports. The 70 metre-long (230ft) image is in a field between junctions 14 and 15. With the words ‘Planning Approved’ stamped across it, the mural was commissioned by Beautiful Britain magazine, was made using biodegradable paint and is expected to last for six weeks.
The magazine said it was concerned the wishes of local communities were being ignored by central government in an attempt to meet national targets. Editor Rob Yarham said: ‘We want to highlight the threat to those environments posed by ill-considered and rushed planning decisions.
We chose a runway because many of those involve transport infrastructure.'
