a group calling themselves 'diggers2012' and loosely affiliated with the occupy movement, are on route to a piece of disused land on the windsor great park estate. yesterday, as they set off from syon lane community allotment, police served a pre-emptive injunction on them forbidding them from entering or camping on crown estate land.

the diggers2012 have identified a forgotten area of the windsor great park with abandoned farm buildings.

to show an alternative to our "system of crisis", the group plan to grow food, live sustainably and restore and build structures in a responsible way.

they are calling for the right for everyone to make use of otherwise disused land to live on in a sustainable way, free of febt and rent.

they had planned and publicised journey, starting from the long-established syon lane community allotment yesterday, camping overnight, and aiming to take over the disused land this afternoon.

at the start of their adventure yetsreday, thames valley police arrived with two high court injunctions relating to the whole of the great windsor park and also identifying other smaller areas of crown estate in the vicinity.

the police admitted they cannot lawfully prevent the potential trespass from going ahead, without a warant from the high court for the breach of the court order, but they are escorting the group, who at midday today are just a few miles from their target. the main group from syon numbered 20, but a few more have just joined and others are expected to meet up earlier.

if you are interested in the project and wish to become involved, look at their website and get in touch. all committed people are welcome. see on the website what you will need to bring etc.
