For the past nine months, activists in Southend have been occupying a piece of land scheduled for destruction as part of the #21.5m F5 road scheme.
It is estimated that the scheme will shave a mere 2.5 minutes off the average journey, and it has been controversial since first proposed in the mid-1970s.
Campers have been busy building tree platforms and digging tunnels in a bid to delay possible eviction. PN had a chat with camp resident Ant in June and he said they'd really welcome more support - especially during the day. http://www.savepriorypark.org/
