Trip to Balcombe Tuesday 10th September: three B+H FoE members went. Previous day (Mon) camp was served an eviction order to leave by 9am Tues 10th or possession of land proceedings will be instituted. Sussex Police announced that from 9am Tues 10th they would issue a Section 14 requiring protesters to use the designated protest area or risk arrest.
We arrived at around 11am. Camp still in place, heavy police presence, no evidence of designated protest area. One lorry pushed through by police lines and two protesters injured – one needing ambulance to hospital. A few campers leaving.
Monica was contacted by two people from Heathfield who wanted to find out about maybe setting up a FoE group in Heathfield. Details passed to Tim Gee.
