Stringers Common

There are now 4 camps on the site of the A320 road scheme at Stringers Common. Hairy Mog, Camp Cannibalistic, Yoghurt Free State are in the process of moving everything up into the trees to try to prevent any nasty eviction surprises. As of yet no eviction papers have been served, though a tip off was received that eviction equipment had been booked for the end of March - before the nesting season arrives.

The newer camps are especially in need of more people, so do go along if you can. Also desperately needed are CBs, mobile phones, office equipment, 10-12 mm polyprop, tarpaulins and a tat van. Unfortunately there are no suitable places for live-in vehicles or caravans so please do not bring them.

The council have got a very limited budget for this road scheme and it really looks as though the cost of evictions could mean that they it does not get built. For more information call: 01483 32167.
