The villagers held out for around 4 hours. After clearing the square, the bailiffs erected metal fences around the entire perimeter of the square, save for a strip of pavement on the east side, where tents belonging to Brian Haw and friends' Parliament Square Peace Campaign and Maria Gallastegui's Peacestrike campaign are located; plus a patch of grass where one of Brian Haw's tents is located.
Around thirty villagers continued their protest on the remaining strip of pavement during the morning rush hour, with various media present.
