Activists fight eviction from Forest of Dean farm
Police have been called to Yorkley Court farm in the Forest of Dean after a tense stand-off between the eco-activist residents and bailiffs.
Community farm granted injunction against eviction
A group of eco activists running a community farm in the Forest of Dean say they've been granted an injunction preventing them from being evicted.
It means they'll be able to continue living and working on the land for 12 months, though it is subject to appeal within seven days.
The activists called the police yesterday when bailiffs arrived early in the morning to try to remove them and their possessions from the area.
