Protestors stop work at Shipley open-cast

27-10-2008 19:45

Today protestors from Earth First! stopped work at an open-cast coal site for over
two hours – they ran onto the site and clambered on diggers & dumpers and held out
banners stopping the work safely. Some of the digger drivers were very friendly and
were glad to have a break as they work very long shifts, from 7am-6:30 with only
lunch & half hour breaks at 10 & 3. Today work had not been able to start till 10
as nature was fighting it's own corner, with rain drowning the site, and it was stopped again at 1 for 3 hours due to the protest.
