Eight people were arrested and houses were raided yesterday before a planned action against M1 widening in South Yorkshire could take place. According to the mainstream media three women and five men were arrested on suspicion of committing Public Order offences and were later released on bail, the arrest were made before the activists could stop any work and the ‘incident’ did not disrupt traffic.
