Tree protest hots up, second Battle of Hastings underway - protestors in trees and Digger Diving


Save the Valley - Time to Join the Movement!
------------------------------------------------------------

There are now 3 camps along the site of the propose road, tree houses have been built, tunnels dug, diggers dived, telegraph poles climbed, high altitude evictions and this is just the beginning!

Now is the chance to be part of the biggest anti-road campaign since the 1990's! The first new road to be built in the government's new programme of community green space destruction. Come do something about it!

This is for saving Combe Haven, for real democratic process to planning, for sustainable transport for the community, for anti-cuts, for Council Members listening to their community and scientific fact not falsifying job claims and representing landowners interests (shame on you Peter Jones) and getting climate change back on the agenda. Come down and camp out with us.

Everyone welcome all ages, experiences, supporters and activists alike. Together we can stop them!
 
 TIME TO DEFEND THE VALLEY | BECOME A LEGAL OBSERVER
------------------------------
------------------------------


Defend the defenders! Become a Legal Observer
------------------------------------------------------------

Legal Observers needed to monitor activity of security and bailiffs at the site. There have been 12 arrests so far some have involved a lot of aggression on the part of the bailiffs, police and security teams.  Legal Observers are essential for keeping an eye on them,  making notes about what they get up to. Legal Observers are on hand to give practical advice to those experiencing difficulties with the police, hand out bust cards (http://wordpress.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=5784b0db3fb706a72bba27322&id=e549e9b544&e=850baeedda) , gather witness statements of arrests and police misconduct. They are a visible reminder to the police and bailiffs that we are watching and that they will be held to account!

This is a perfect job for people who want to support the campaign but not actively demonstrate.  Local legal observers are particularly welcome. Get in contact – 07926 423 033 or combehavendefenders [at] gmail.com - no prior experience needed full training and info given.
