16:00 Update multiple breaches in fence reported - apparently a police oficer has collapsed and an ambulance has attended quickly - this follows the collapse of a man earlier in the day with a suspected mild heart attack and reports that obtaining medical assistance was difficult.

Determined Direct Action All Day Long

17.10.2009 17:45

Repeated, persistant and passionate fence dismantling been going on all day around Ratcliffe power station. Bolt cutters, grappling hooks, ropes, fencing used as ladders, climbing, jumping, pulling and pushing. An amazing display of determination to stand up and be counted against the root causes of climate chaos...
