Camp Decoy, the last of three camps stand­ing in the way of the pro­posed Bex­hill – Hast­ings Link Road (BHLR), faces evic­tion next Mon­day (28 Jan). If you have ever thought you might come and take a stand against this hor­ri­fy­ing scheme, now’s the time.

Camp Decoy, the last of three camps stand­ing in the way of the pro­posed Bex­hill – Hast­ings Link Road (BHLR), faces evic­tion next Mon­day (28 Jan). If you have ever thought you might come and take a stand against this hor­ri­fy­ing scheme, now’s the time.

We need to do absolute­ly every­thing we can to peace­ful­ly resist this evic­tion. We have been tru­ly hum­bled over the last few weeks by the lev­el of sup­port from the local com­mu­ni­ty, and from well-wish­ers far and wide.  But now we need peo­ple, lots of peo­ple, to stand togeth­er and say: “Enough is enough, it’s time to pro­tect the coun­try­side”.

See here for maps and direc­tions from the near­est train sta­tion (Crowhurst).

Combe Haven is the first of 190 sites at risk of new road devel­op­ment.  If we allow this one, the oth­ers will fol­low and pre­cious habi­tats all over the coun­try will be lost for­ev­er.

Here’s how you can help resist the evic­tion of Camp Decoy:

1. Share this far and wide.  Face­book, Twit­ter, Email.  Phone your friends.  Phone your local radio sta­tion!  Tell every­one at work, at school, at col­lege, and down the pub.

2.Donate! Use the donate but­ton on the Combe Haven Defend­ers web-site, or send them a cheque. Every lit­tle helps: just £6 buys enough rope to secure a plat­form; £12 buys a lock to secure some­one to it.

3.Most impor­tant­ly – Come to Combe Haven and help to peace­ful­ly defend Camp Decoy!

CATCH THE COMBE HAVEN BUS!

Decoy Wood is the last remain­ing piece of wood­land in the way of the BHLR.  Wait a week or two and it may be gone. If live in Eng­land, Wales or Scot­land and you can get 20 peo­ple from your com­mu­ni­ty to come, we will pro­vide you with your very own Combe Haven Bus, for free!

These bus­es will bring peo­ple to Camp Decoy on Sat­ur­day, and on Sun­day we hope to pro­vide train­ing in tree-climb­ing, lock­ing-on, and a legal brief­ing.

We need every­one, whether it’s for peace­ful resis­tance, legal obser­va­tion or gen­er­al sup­port.  Whether you are will­ing to risk arrest or not – there’s a job for you!

The bus will return to your com­mu­ni­ty after a few days of action, depend­ing on the sit­u­a­tion on the ground.
