BRITAIN’S LARGEST PROTEST SITE PREPARES FOR SIEGE:
15th July 2011
Today Britain’s largest protest site was served with an eviction notice. At 11 a.m. Telford County Court granted U.K. Coal a possession order against the environmental protestors from Huntington Lane Anti-U.K. Coal Protest Site, Wellington, Telford.
The protestors are part of a local and national campaign against the expansion of new coal and associated devastating pollution and loss of natural habitat. ‘Climate change chaos is caused by this primitive madness and we’re drawing the line here’, said one of the protestors.
The protest site is situated in 230 acres of ancient woodland, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The site has been occupied for 18 months. During that time the campers have been busy building defence structures both above and below ground. The site is full of treehouses, tunnels, towers and forts. The structures are equipped with supplies for the expected long siege. Bailiffs and police are expected at any time in force.
