A11 Wymondham Bypass

Activists were evicted from the Willows in Wymondham, Norfolk on 1st October after a month long occupation. As a direct result of the occupation construction has been delayed until the beginning of January. The eviction of the 3 squatters was peaceful. It took police nearly 2 hours to smash through barricades and 2 of the protesters had to be removed from the roof by crane. The house and orchard were demolished the same day. A mobile phone proved invaluable during the occupation. For the moment NVDA is taking place on a fairly limited basis; when construction begins this will change. Write to the constructors at May Gurney, Head Office, Trowse, Norwich, Norfolk.
