the camp in titnore woods near worthing (near brighton) is sending out an urgent call-out for people to come and resist eviction.

the campaign to save the ancient woodland at titnore woods from destruction to make way for 'development'' in the form of another tesco hypermarket, road etc etc has been going since 2002. a camp was set up in april this year, and at their recent open day, the contractor hired security guards with video cameras to try intimidate visitors. you can read more on the front page of indymedia southcoast  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/southcoast/

they're now in court this thursday, so the eviction could be anytime (48hrs?) after that. Please come down and help resist.

while the lure of festivals in the countryside and the halcyon days of summer may beckon, you know there won't be any bloody countryside unless we stop the bastards, so get yer arses down there folks!

I have to say that I'm not too upset that Titnore is about to be evicted because I've been hearing rumours that the protestors have been digging trenches around the perimeter to the camp and across the open feild that will be used as a staging post during the eviction. They have then been using these trenches to store diesel which is a really bad idea because any spark from police or baliff vehicles could ignite this fuel in a nasty accident. Also if the diesel leaches out of these trenches into the soild it may undermine the viability of the site as a development location for a number of years.

So if this is true I encourage the courts to move quickly and get them out.

bullshit disinfo from sov

I thank many more than sov are hoping that Titnore Woods is saved from the Tesco monsters and let us hope that the supporters and defenders come forward before it is too late.
