HS2 protest camp reclaimed by climate activists

CLIMATE activists have reclaimed a high speed rail (HS2) protest camp site in west London, a week after bailiffs kicked them out. 

Thirty people retook the camp on Saturday at the Harvil Road site, in the London borough of Hillingdon, while hundreds joined Extinction Rebellion (XR)’s “day of action.” 

Activists are hoping to deter government plans to fell thousands of trees in the Colne Valley, which is home to many species of plants and animals.
