Today, the Department of Transport was targetted for the first time in about a year by anti-roads protesters.







A group of people from Essex locked on in the lobby and demanded to see the minister responsible the making a decision regarding funding for the controversial 'F5' road scheme planned for the A127/A1159 Priory Crescent in Southend-on-Sea.

The group were eventually forcibly and violently removed by security.Police were not called to the scene for a couple of hours and then seemed strangly reluctant to arrrest anyone.

Video clips to follow.

Here are some photos.
