Activists occupying Bodge House / Lodge House / Prospect Farm (all the same place) to obstruct its destruction for opencast coal extraction had a court victory on Monday.
Harworth Estates (Agricultural Land) Limited, the new greenwash name for the outfit formerly known as Harworth Mining International Limited were sent packing by the judge with a flea in their ear. They couldn’t prove they actually owned the place or had properly ended the farmer’s tenancy. If they do the all homework set by the judge properly, they’ll be allowed to try again on 18th July.
Meantime, the occupation goes on.
