PAINSWICK resident Elinor Croxall joined hundreds of other protestors in a blockade at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston on Monday, October 27.

Elinor, who is co-ordinator of the Stroud District Green Party, aimed to delay the construction of the next generation of the UK's nuclear weapons and draw attention to the activity.

She said she managed to avoid arrest when police ran out of cells in Berkshire.
