Work on Linslade Bypass has begun

The Linslade Bypass web page is saying...

NEWS FLASH (10:45 19th January) - Workmen have moved onto the bypass site to start cutting trees. Police presence is very high and arrests may be imminent.

Has anyone got anymore information? Are there plans for continued protests?

Just to let you know that the digger was taken away this morning whilst the local press (Three Counties Radio) were there. We don't expect them to be back before next week but keep watching our website for updates on progress.
