A30 Action

The impending eviction of the anti-road camps, resisting the construction of the A30 road in Devon, that could have happened from any date after the 14th October, has not yet happened. The first week the eviction was likely to happen saw people from all over the country come down to help resist the destruction of this piece of countryside. When the eviction did not happen people got together to take the battle to the state and it’s servants. The first target was the offices of W.S. Atkins which were hit and briefly occupied on Monday 14th October followed on Wednesday 16th by an occupation of the offices of the solicitors who are acting for the eviction . After an anonymous tip off about a meeting that was happening there between police and the bailiffs people couldn’t resist a visit - much to the cops and bailiffs surprise!

The following week saw the arrival of an armoured vehicle courtesy of the AAA (formerly the KLF). This did not amuse the police at all and after more than a week, parked up by the Trollheim camp, the police came in to make sure that they left the area.

The last week of November had police going into Fairmile ground camp attempting to damage air vents from the tunnels.

False alarms are still rife and as always people and equipment are still needed for when the eviction does actually kick off. For more information call A30 Action on: 01404 815729.
