The long-standing protest camp outside the former Vestas wind turbine blades factory in Newport, Isle of Wight came to an end today when the land owner obtained permission from Court to force their removal. Newport, Isle of Wight, UK. 27/11/2009.

A court order was granted earlier in the week on behalf of the landowner of the roundabout outside Vestas, Newport, Isle of Wight, to have the current occupants removed. Since the occupation of the Vestas blade factory back in July, there has been a permanent camp on the roundabout, affectionatelt know as 'The Magic Roundabout', inhabited by climate change protesters, supporters of workers rights and some of the former factory occupiers, who have still been refused any redundancy after being sacked during their factory occupation.

The campaigners had started to grow broad beans and herbs as an acknowledgement of the ethics of sustainable living and a message of determination to stay put, but the landowner wished otherwise. To make the most of what was there, the roundabout's allotment was transplanted to the garden of a local supporter.

Baliffs and police turned up in the morning and served the notice. The occupiers, who had been given less than two days notice and were already removing materials from the site, made efforts to remove their personal items, boulstered along with supplies of copious cups of tea and hot crumpets, curtesy of Marina Pepper and kitchen buddies. About an hour into the removals, Dave 'Arbo' Abuthnott, a former Vestas occupier, climbed onto the roof of the kitchenn structure to stage another 'occupation'. Marina got in the way of the baliffs and was arrested for obstruction but not before giving the Police the run-around around the roundabout, crying out that she could not possibly leave without her tea pot before being captured in the kitchen area and led away by Police.

The rest of the day went more quietly and efforts were made to remove the kitchen 'gazebo' that had been constructed by the occupiers from old pallet wood. In what form the Vestas protest now takes remains to be seen, particularly as it is biting at the heels of Copenhagen.

The campaigners had started to grow broad beans and herbs as an acknowledgement of the ethics of sustainable living and a message of determination to stay put, but the landowner wished otherwise. To make the most of what was there, the roundabout's allotment was transplanted to the garden of a local supporter.

Baliffs and police turned up in the morning and served the notice. The occupiers, who had been given less than two days notice and were already removing materials from the site, made efforts to remove their personal items, boulstered along with supplies of copious cups of tea and hot crumpets, curtesy of Marina Pepper and kitchen buddies. About an hour into the removals, Dave 'Arbo' Abuthnott, a former Vestas occupier, climbed onto the roof of the kitchenn structure to stage another 'occupation'. Marina got in the way of the baliffs and was arrested for obstruction but not before giving the Police the run-around around the roundabout, crying out that she could not possibly leave without her tea pot before being captured in the kitchen area and led away by Police.

The rest of the day went more quietly and efforts were made to remove the kitchen 'gazebo' that had been constructed by the occupiers from old pallet wood. In what form the Vestas protest now takes remains to be seen, particularly as it is biting at the heels of Copenhagen.

Marina got in the way of the baliffs and was arrested for obstruction but not before giving the Police the run-around around the roundabout, crying out that she could not possibly leave without her tea pot before being captured in the kitchen area and led away by Police.

The rest of the day went more quietly and efforts were made to remove the kitchen 'gazebo' that had been constructed by the occupiers from old pallet wood. In what form the Vestas protest now takes remains to be seen, particularly as it is biting at the heels of Copenhagen.

The long-standing protest camp outside the former Vestas wind turbine blades factory in Newport, Isle of Wight came to an end today when the land owner obtained permission from Court to force their removal. Newport, Isle of Wight, UK. 27/11/2009.

A court order was granted earlier in the week on behalf of the landowner of the roundabout outside Vestas, Newport, Isle of Wight, to have the current occupants removed. Since the occupation of the Vestas blade factory back in July, there has been a permanent camp on the roundabout, affectionatelt know as 'The Magic Roundabout', inhabited by climate change protesters, supporters of workers rights and some of the former factory occupiers, who have still been refused any redundancy after being sacked during their factory occupation.

The campaigners had started to grow broad beans and herbs as an acknowledgement of the ethics of sustainable living and a message of determination to stay put, but the landowner wished otherwise. To make the most of what was there, the roundabout's allotment was transplanted to the garden of a local supporter.

Baliffs and police turned up in the morning and served the notice. The occupiers, who had been given less than two days notice and were already removing materials from the site, made efforts to remove their personal items, boulstered along with supplies of copious cups of tea and hot crumpets, curtesy of Marina Pepper and kitchen buddies. About an hour into the removals, Dave 'Arbo' Abuthnott, a former Vestas occupier, climbed onto the roof of the kitchenn structure to stage another 'occupation'. Marina got in the way of the baliffs and was arrested for obstruction but not before giving the Police the run-around around the roundabout, crying out that she could not possibly leave without her tea pot before being captured in the kitchen area and led away by Police.
