Work has now begun on the Tesco Extra in Durrington, near Brighton. Protestors who have been treesitting for over three years to stop ancient woodland being cut down were joined today by local supporters for a picnic. The first spot chosen for the picnic just happened to be the gates of the construction site.

One lucky protestor got inside the gates and just happened to get locked to a digger. Workers were sent home, at least two construction trucks turned around and left, and the site was completely disrupted for a few hours. We then left peacefully, with no arrests, and continued the picnic back at the camp.

The new Tesco is being built in a field next to the old Tesco which will then be demolished and made into a car park. The woods are under threat because phase two of the plan is to build 800 houses on fields and woodland. Already work has started on a supply road which will bring unwanted noise and pollution to the area.

If you want to go down and check it out, feel free, all support is welcome.
