Badges supporting the SAVE campaign - with slogans supplied by listeners
Ambridge’s anti-Route B campaigners have been busy spreading the word about the SAVE Am Vale Environment campaign.
David Archer made sure there were badges shirts, stickers, mugs and T-shirts to sell on the village fete stall on Sunday as well as postcards for Ambridge folk to send to their MP, Francis Winterbury. Lynda Snell was delighted to have support from none other than TV’s Kirstie Allsopp, who had popped along to open the fete.

And Lynda Snell and Susan Carter have even joined Twitter – you’ll find Lynda tweeting from the @SAVEAmbridge account!
Lynda tweeted live from the Route B Ramble last Thursday when villagers joined her in a walk through Starley’s Copse, along the path of the proposed new road. If you missed it, you can read all about it here.
Of course, not everyone is supporting the campaign. Mr Pinnock, a local farmer, was heard to say: “If you ask me I deserve some compensation. This blasted farm’s been a weight around my neck for years.” And Damara Capital’s Charlie Thomas has been a vocal advocate of the proposed new road.
