latest news from tree protest in shepton mallet

latest news!

just spoke to camp, they need food that will be suitable for up trees, high energy etc incase of seige!.

some fences were put up today to block entrances, one has already vanished!!!

it looks like they are going for a high court injunction (same as blackwood treesit) this can be served on people unknown! but was ignored at blackwood, and no further action took place.

can anyone go to court to see the outcome of this as i have advised camp members to stay put! its in london tommorow morning!

the spirit seems high at the camp and they are ready to stand their ground!

national eviction team and r. turner climbers need three weeks to prepare, but tesco may try other means to get them out!

please post this wherever you can as i gotta go to work in a bit!

love peace and love to the trees

You can contact the anti-Tesco camp on 07749 110 689

For messages of support, how to get there and stuff.

With 400 trees in danger, does Shepton Mallet really need another Tesco?

Eviction Imminent, Help Needed Urgently!

22.02.2006 12:52

Ollie and Arthur have just come out of the high court, and justice HAS NOT been done.

They were asking for just another week to prove their point but the court wouldn't listen.

[B]Eviction can now be expected at any time, may be a bit late for today but all hands needed ASAP because they could surprise us. [/B]

Although they shouldn't be starting work on the site yet because the nesting season starts on March 1st, and one of the Planning Consent Informatives is:

"The applicant is advised that it is an offence to disturb bats or nesting birds. Therefore, close inspection of the tree should be undertaken prior to the commencement of works to determine if any bats or birds reside in the tree. If any birds are found then no works should occur while they are nesting, which may be at any time between the months of March to September inclusive; if bats are present works should cease until the applicant has obtained further advice from English Nature on 01823 283211 "

One of the objections states:
"Substantial loss of trees. Believes bats are present and another survey should be carried out."
