Mining protesters take to the Iron Bridge
Friday 2nd April 2010, 2:00PM BST.
Police talk to coal protesters Dawn and Tom after they hung a banner on the Iron Bridge.
Objectors claim the 230-acre site should not be touched despite the fact that diggers have already been on site. UK Coal bosses have said the camp is illegal and they have vowed to take legal action to get the protesters removed.
Opponent of the mine plans, Elaine Adams, said: “The Don’t Wreck The Wrekin protest camp is growing. Hundreds may well be expected up to April 4 when they launch Fossil Fools Day, a protest about plans to open cast huge tracts of land under The Wrekin for six months worth of coal.”
