Mainshill - eviction alert?

Nonewcoal | 06.10.2009 21:43 | Climate Chaos | Ecology

Details sketchy at present, but a bunch of cops in landrovers have just been spotted at Mainshill. Some were also thought to have been seen getting into climbing gear (can this be the police?) This follows a successful attempt earlier this evening to put a halt to the tree-felling by forcing the workers back to the top of the site.

It also follows yesterday's action against opencast coal mining:

It has been difficult to make contact with those on site - can someone in touch with people there check if things are ok?

People needed to stop work at Mainshill

Spoke to people at site and they don't feel there is an immediate eviction threat. However they do need more people to come to try and stop the clear-felling and drilling work that is happening on site. Get there if you can!
