Info on bailiffs heading for Camp Titnore

The involvement of supermarket giant Tesco in the development has been known all along - it wants to build a massive new store next to the 875-home estate and it is rumoured that the disastrous road widening in Titnore Lane has been arranged purely for its delivery lorries coming off the A27.
Another coincidence was that the legal papers served on the camp all turned up in special plastic bags marked "Tesco".
And it has now emerged that the eviction will be handled, again coincidentally, by the same two firms used by Tesco in its eviction of the Shepton Mallet anti-Tesco protest site.
The bailiffs are Sherforce, based in Braintree, Essex. Tel 0845 890 9205, email

They have apparently never handled a site involving tunnels before and people might want to ask them how they propose to do so.
The specialist climbers being used are Highline Access of Bristol (tel 0870 0435531).
Titnore protesters have invited the bailiffs to a health and safety meeting, as is standard procedure in many protest sites, but they were not interested.
