Some protesters scuffled with bailiffs as they were taken down from rooftops London Live
Campaigners occupying a London housing estate set to be demolished for redevelopment have been driven out of the homes by bailiffs wearing riot gear.
The Sweets Way estate, in Barnet, has been at the centre of a bitter stand-off for the past six months, with protesters refusing to leave until the plans are shelved and evicted families are allowed to move back in.
But on Wednesday morning they were awoken by High Court enforcement officers with a writ to clear the homes.
Occupiers with the Sweets Way Resists group filmed themselves trying to hold doors back as the bailiffs forced their way inside, and putting their faces against glass windows in efforts to stop them being smashed.
