2021-01-31 HS2 Rebellion Battle for Euston Day 5

28 images Created 31 Jan 2021

London, UK. 31 January, 2021. Climbers from the National Eviction Team (NET) dismantle a camp in Euston Square Gardens built by anti-HS2 campaigners from HS2 Rebellion seeking to protect trees there from felling by HS2 Ltd in connection with the controversial HS2 high-speed rail project.

An as yet undefined number of activists continue to occupy tunnels beneath the camp, including Dan Hooper, previously known as the roads protester Swampy during the 1990s, and Dr Larch Maxey. The presence of the tunnels was revealed by the BBC, in breach of an embargo agreement made with the activists, on 24th January, since when NET enforcement agents have been trying to remove activists from the site.

Jenny Jones, Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb, was present at Euston Square Gardens during the afternoon, carrying out an interview with BBC News and speaking to Karl Harrison from the NET regarding risk assessments carried out by and the qualifications of NET personnel involved in trying to remove activists from the tunnels beneath the site.

Euston Square Gardens is a scarce, and much loved, oasis of mature trees alongside one of the most polluted roads in London. Before felling by HS2 Ltd commenced, it contained examples of London Plane, Red Oak, Common Whitebeam, Common Lime and Wild Service trees.

HS2 previously razed the nearby three-acre St James’s Gardens, felling its mature London Plane, Common Ash, Italian Alder, Common Lime, Bird Cherry, Wild Cherry and Sugar Maple trees and disinterring 45,000 skeletons at a former burial ground there.

Felling has also been taking place in other streets in the Euston area, such as Hampstead Road.

Euston is an area where local people experience an exacerbation of respiratory conditions and where air quality standards have been regularly infringed.
