Brewery Road In Bury St Edmonds

Locals residents in Bury St Edmonds, Suffolk, have set up a camp to stop an access road being built through virtually untouched water meadows to reach Green King Brewery. The brewery has had its planning application granted this January to extend the depot.

There has been excellent press coverage and enormous local support for the camps, but they now need help to supplement their land occupation rota as most people have had to head back to work after the New Year. The camp has benders and tents but also needs tree dwellers should the water meadows flood. Food and firewood stores are currently well stocked, so if you can spare a week or two, or even a day or two, your help would be much appreciated.
