Roads protesters launched a war of attrition against the
construction of the œ65 million A299 Thanet Way in Kent this
week.
Workers for main contractor Kier Hochtief met a barrage of action from protesters as they attempted to set up the site. Work is due to start at the end of the month.
Work was halted on three consecutive days as protesters occupied machinery and two houses scheduled for demolition. Police made 13 arrests under the Criminal Justice Act.
Protesters this week pledged to carry on their opposition to the project.
The contractors refused to comment on the demonstrations.
