Protests against out of control housing developments launches in Cornwall over Easter weekend

They may not have been as impressive as the Extinction Rebellion demonstrations seen in London and elsewhere, but slowly, people in Cornwall are waking up to the fact that there is something inherently wrong going on in Cornwall with overdevelopment destroying our green and pleasant land.

Easter weekend saw protests break out in Breage and Polzeath.

This comment from Polzeath:

"We must stop Cornwall Council's environmental damage to our motherland which has occurred in Polzeath with reports that a builder - developer has threatened to “smash the face in” of a guy he suspects of campaigning against over and wrongful development (a lovely guy who wouldn’t harm a fly, we have been informed)".

Photographs attached show elements of the protest.

All protests in Cornwall will be peaceful but having witnessed the wonderful actions of XR, we are now sure that civil disobedience is the way forward.

A dialogue has now been opened with Extinction Rebellion regarding the staging of further protests against Cornwall Council and the Westminster Government and their destruction of Cornwall.

Future actions will not be disclosed in advance.
