Beer Monsters (Bury St Edmunds)
The land occupation at the threatened Bury St Edmunds Butts Water Meadow
in Suffolk, has now been going strong for 4 weeks, despite gales, floods
and winter weather! The Campaigners are trying to save the meadows from
being trashed by a road that Greene King Brewery want built in order to
save 10 minutes off their delivery journeys. The campaign has widespread
support, with local people and businesses supplying most of the
essentials, such as food, water, equipment, utensils and firewood - but
they would like a few more people to come and stay. There is also a
boycott of the company in place, with planned pickets outside pubs in
the pipeline.
