People are able to get into the camp and the siege seems to be a vehicle-only siege. Some campers said the blockade was apparently a retaliation by police as they were refused access to the site. Some 25 cops had forced their way onto the site earlier to look around, refusing to wait until an appointment with the fire and health services was made to come and check out the site's health and safety issues. Vans are being forced to stop up the road and have to be unloaded by hand and the tat carried in by hand or in wheely bins.
