Info on bailiffs heading for Camp Titnore

Tree person | 30.08.2006 20:42 | Ecology | Free Spaces | South Coast

WITH eviction now looking extremely imminent at Camp Titnore in Worthing, information has been gained on the firms who will be trying to force the protesters off the ancient woodland they are trying to protect.

Today (Wednesday August 30) there was a lot of police activity in the area around the site and protesters are calling for people to get down to the camp NOW to help them defend their occupied land, with the appeal lost and the go-ahead given to clear the site.
The involvement of supermarket giant Tesco in the development has been known all along - it wants to build a massive new store next to the 875-home estate and it is rumoured that the disastrous road widening in Titnore Lane has been arranged purely for its delivery lorries coming off the A27.
Another coincidence was that the legal papers served on the camp all turned up in special plastic bags marked "Tesco".
And it has now emerged that the eviction will be handled, again coincidentally, by the same two firms used by Tesco in its eviction of the Shepton Mallet anti-Tesco protest site.
The bailiffs are Sherforce, based in Braintree, Essex. Tel 0845 890 9205, email  enquiries@sherforce.net, website www.sherforce.net
They have apparently never handled a site involving tunnels before and people might want to ask them how they propose to do so.
The specialist climbers being used are Highline Access of Bristol (tel 0870 0435531).
Titnore protesters have invited the bailiffs to a health and safety meeting, as is standard procedure in many protest sites, but they were not interested.

Highline Access- NOT EMPLOYED TO REMOVE YOU FROM TREES

25.09.2006 14:51

Dear Sir/Madame:

My name is Paul Cooper and I am the co-director of Highline Access in Bristol. I recently spoke to James Mutley, who I believe is the head of the Titnore Protest, in regards to our company being employed to evict the protesters from the trees. Please let us clear the air- we have never been approached by any one person or entity with regards to any eviction at Titnore. The first and only time we have heard of this was when I spoke to Mr. Mutley roughly three weeks ago. Our company is not nor will we be involved in any eviction. In fact, we have told Mr. Mutley that we would be willing to consult with the protestors suggesting ways they might stay in the trees.

With this being said, would you please cease using our company or reference to our compnay in regards to any eviction. In fact, it would be nice if you could please inform all interested parties that we are not involved.

We wish you all the luck in the world with your endeavour and fully support your reasons for doing so. There are far too many giant supermarkets and mean-spirited badly designed housing developments in Britain already.

Save the woodlands!

Regards, Paul Cooper
