Gathering at Huntingdon Lane protest site from 10–13 December

The Shrop­shire anti-coal site at Hunt­ing­ton Lane was set up in April this year to defend the site against UK coal’s plans to mine the huge site set in thou­sands of hectares of beau­ti­ful wood­land in the heart of Shropshire’s beau­ti­ful coun­try­side.

On Octo­ber 13th UK coal along with NET (Nation­al Evic­tion Team), who are cur­rent­ly work­ing as secu­ri­ty on the site, moved in on the south­ern part of site and have begun work, trash­ing the land with a large array of mas­sive earth­mov­ing equip­ment. How­ev­er the camp is still going as good as ever and get­ting stronger by the day!
See our web­site, http://defendhuntingtonlane.wordpress.com/ for more infor­ma­tion.

We are call­ing for peo­ple to come and join us for an action-packed
extend­ed week­end of resis­tance at the site from the 10th-13th Decem­ber.

We plan to include skill­shar­ing includ­ing site skills, action and defence build­ing, infor­ma­tion shar­ing and net­work­ing with activists from oth­er cam­paigns.
