Mainshill van sabbedOn Wednes­day 16th, con­trac­tors parked in front of Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp returned to find their van sab­o­taged.

The Rae­burn work­ers turned up at 2.30 with the estate man­ag­er and left their vehi­cles unat­tend­ed while they took soil sam­ples with­in the camp. In less than ten min­utes, though the work van win­dows were smashed and ‘out of main­shill’ and ‘no more coal’ sprayed on the sides. A buck­et of com­post was tipped over the bon­net. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, the estate man­ager’s 4x4 only got a small scratch.

The occu­pa­tion of Main­shill con­tin­ues, and we wel­come oth­ers who wish to join us in resist­ing open cast coal min­ing and the envi­ron­men­tal tox­i­fi­ca­tion it caus­es.
