NPower's lawers have also issued an injunction, served on 6 named individuals, plus anyone else they can manage to serve one on down there, pretty much curtailing most of your civil liberties in that area.
This includes taking photgraphs of "protected individuals" (guys with chainsaws and security guards), setting up any camp within a half mile radius of the lake, carrying equipment that could be used to set up tripods, or spike trees, protesting within 5 yards of a "protected individual"...
Apparently, the security guards were feeling harrased.
So- careful not to breath too heavily either- you might end up getting nicked for that too.
So far 3 people have been arrested in the latest wave of the protest- 1 in breach of the injunction (for daring to take photos on a public highway!).
Camps will be demolished after 6 hours, and Camp Kylie, previously home to "The Ant" was demolished in the wee small hours of the morning (no arrests, as there were no longer any occupants, as they'd all been nicked!)
Suggested action- go down there, bear witness, and I leave it up to you as to whether or not you take any notice of this injunction.
I didn't!
