5th May 2010
This morn­ing Bailiffs moved onto the site at St Webergh’s Bris­tol. Res­i­dents are resist­ing and at present there are still four peo­ple on site plus two Tri­pod sit­ters, one on the roof of the build­ing and one on the gate. In a dis­turb­ing move how­ev­er, bailiffs sre threat­en­ing to remove the tri­pod sit­ters and and peo­ple on the roof with­out climb­ing teams and spe­cial equi­ment, claim­ing that these are not nec­es­sary.

Most­ly still a stand-off but some updates..

The own­er has now showed up appar­ent­ly to talk to res­i­dents about the site. Mean­while the vil­lagers remain up tripods over the main gate to the site and on the roof of an on-site build­ing. A cher­ry-pick­er has showed up but as I under­stand it the local res­i­dents have occu­pied the pick­er … awe­some!!

This is not over by a long shot. Please get down to the vil­lage as there is every­thing to be won today. Bailiffs are still dis­cussing the poten­tial of just tip­ping tripods with peo­ple up in them. Any video cam­eras that can be tak­en down there are VITAL to stop the bailiffs from going nuts.

Local res­i­dents have put their bod­ies on the line by join­ing with Vil­lagers to link arms and block­ade the gates to pre­vent access by machin­ery.
