We are now working hard to consolidate our position on
site, to make it as defendable as possible, and to
make it ready for the coming winter.

On Monday afternoon, representatives from both
Parklife/Camp Bling and national lobbying body Road
Block met with the Department for Transport (DfT), to
state our case once again, and to get the latest
developments on the situation regarding road F5 and
the decision making process.

Needless to say we made our position quite clear: That
we intend to make Bling one of the largest and most
significant road camps in the country. We also intend
to make any eviction of us from the land as expensive
and protracted as possible, to deter any decision in
favour of the road.

According to the DfT, it would now seem that any
decision to fund the road by central government is not
likely till the new year at the very earliest. We are
therefore going to sit it out, and in order to do so
we still need your support to get through the initial
winter period.

Things we need (cheeky maybe but necessary), and on a
regular basis are:

Financial donations
Building materials/tools
Substantial tarpaulins (canvass/plastic)
Paving slabs
Scaffolding
Vegan/vegetarian food.

Additionally, we still need you to get people to:
