Wendover, UK. 10th October, 2021. Enforcement agents from the National Eviction Team (NET), facilitated by Thames Valley Police officers, commence the eviction of environmental activists opposed to the HS2 high-speed rail link from Wendover Active Resistance (WAR) camp. WAR camp, which contains tree houses, tunnels, a cage and a 15-metre tower, is currently the largest of the protest camps set up by Stop HS2 activists along HS2's Phase 1 route between London and Birmingham. It was set up in January 2020 (my images of the camp in January 2020 appear here: https://markkerrison.photoshelter.com/gallery/2020-01-10-Stop-HS2-Wendover-Active-Resistance-Camp/G0000JameDeWZbDo) on land owned by Buckinghamshire County Council, but the land was subsequently leased to HS2 Ltd.
