As Anti-Nuclear Protesters Drive the (Hinkley) Point Home
Following on from the occupation of and eviction from the trees at the site of a proposed nuclear power station near Bridgwater, Somerset, activists have now squatted a former farmhouse on the perimeter of Hinkley Point nuclear power station.
Having taken the site in the early hours of Sunday 12th February, the occupiers of Langborough Farm now aim to highlight EDF's attempts to destroy some 500 hectares of West Country as well, presumably, as providing a base to toss the occasional spanner from. If you wanna help just head down (directions).
On 10th-11th, on the anniversary of the Fukushima earthquake, there will be an attempt to 'surround hinkley', with the Stop New Nuclear Alliance calling for thousands of people to turnout and blockade the power station. In the meantime, if you can make it down to Somerset, numbers are more then welcome down on the farm.

UPDATE: They finally coughed up. After two days of consistent hassling by activists at the Department for Transport earlier last month, during which one person got nicked, the DfT sheepishly released the previously top secret (read: problematic and embarrassing) documents about the Bexhill-Hastings Link Road.
