Protest Camp Updates
Blackwood
Blackwood protest camp, just outside Cardiff, is still there despite more than a week of evictions. A bunker slightly off the site and on privately owned land remains occupied, and about 10 large trees on route are still there on the account of nesting birds. Other trees have been trashed, along with the treehouses in them. There will be a meeting at 3pm this Sat (3rd) at Kerry Camp to carry on the fight.
