Site A Evic­tion Shock!
Wednes­day 13th Octo­ber, 2010

Site A at Hunt­ing­ton Lane has now been evict­ed and the camp mem­bers are putting out an urgent call out for peo­ple to get them­selves down to help defend the main protest camp, which is expect­ing evic­tion any minute.

At around 8:30am today police offi­cers and mem­bers of the Nation­al Evic­tion Team arrived on Site A to find the tree hous­es sad­ly unoc­cu­pied. The tree hous­es have now been removed and branch­es lopped off the trees so they can’t go back up.

Pro­test­ers have been threat­ened with arrest should they tres­pass upon Site A. An evic­tion notice is yet to be served but this chain of events would appear to sug­gest its immi­nent arrival. We would encour­age any con­cerned indi­vid­u­als to pay a vis­it to camp whether it be to stay on, help out with defences, leave a dona­tion or lend their moral sup­port.

Site A is the south­ern most part of the site (see below marked as ‘site 2′) and the area where the mines infra­struc­ture is to be built and the min­ing is to begin.

The infra­struc­ture process has now begun and is expect­ed to be com­plet­ed rel­a­tive­ly quick­ly and the com­mence­ment of min­ing oper­a­tions is set to fol­low.
