Following the acquittal of Aldermaston blockaders (PN 2516-7), three women, Alison Crane, Morgan Woodland and Alison Parfitt, due to appear before Newbury Magistrates on 9 December charged with highway obstruction at Aldermaston in June, received a letter a few days beforehand to say the case had been dropped due to lack of evidence.
Others who appeared before Newbury magistrates on 26 November on the same charges arising from the same action were not so lucky – they were found guilty and conditionally discharged with £312 costs each awarded against them.
