Green Guard Gone

Green Guard camp, set up to prevent the construction of 500 houses in Nantwich, near Crewe, has now been evicted. Dwindling numbers meant that the last few occupants chose to move off site the day before the eviction was due to take place. The next day, they watched from a nearby hillside as bailiffs came to evict the site.

The campaign continues, nevertheless. When the bulldozers came for the ancient hedgerows a few weeks later, they were occupied by local people, who proceeded to stop work for four days.
