Freedom of speech is ending at Radley Lakes. Injunctions are being served to restrict reporting and prevent protest.
Widespread injunctions are being served.
* npower has served an injunction on the Save Radley Lakes campaign to take down its website
* npower has served an injunction on NQO, publishers of the Oxford Mail and Times; this appears to restrain them from taking any photographs within a mile of the site
* The Oxford Mail reported overnight that npower has served "a far-reaching injunction against protesters' right to demonstrate. The injunction prevents demonstrating against the electricity company [and] protesters are not permitted to remain on, trespass, or conduct any demonstrations or protests within half a mile of Thrupp Lake."
These are "gagging" orders, to be heard in full in April, once the Lake has been destroyed. The local media are terrified.
