Despite lots of bluff and bluster, police finally left the site today! more support is needed to keep the protest site going!
Despite warnings from police that the site would be evicted today at 8am, no attempt to remove activists from the site has been made. police filmed heavily and helped the National Grid intimidate the landowner (who is still very much in support of the protest!).
There are still people staying in the pipe itself 24 hours a day, as well as a presence on the cranes and bulldozers. the floodlight left by police is now able to be turnned on and off as the protestors desire.
If this an URGENT NEED FOR MORE PEOPLE! several people have had to leave today, though they will be returning soon, there it plenty of work needed to be down on site to blockade the pipe.
For directions to the (completely secire and totally legal) campsite alongside the pipe, from Cardiff. check out:

A century of so ago it was said in South Wales that Coal is too precious to burn. That also applies to gas. Not quite in the same was as the man who first said it intended, or can they get as much by-product out of Gas as they can from Coal? But all fossil fuel burning destroys the Life Balance.
Turning to Gas is now putting these Nations in hock to foreigners who can charge whatever they like for their gas, and leave the stupid Brits unable to pay the exorbitant prices the USers will demand for their grain when they turn to ethanol from grain for fuel.
The real priority is that there is an immediate stop on burning fossil fuels, and reorganising all our localities to feed themselves from their own resources. Bankrupting the Pipeline builders is just a small step in that direction. But a big step back from Mass Extinction. Stop Airlines berfore they fly in human to human infectious lethal bird flu.
