Protesters return to Bam Nuttall headquarters

Protestors have returned to Bam Nuttall’s head office to object to the company’s bid to build the Kingsnorth coal fired power station in Kent.

Early this month 13 demonstrators invaded the firm’s office in Camberley, Surrey, glued themselves to furniture and demanded to speak to chief executive Martin Rogers to discuss the environmental implications of a new coal fired power station.

This time the protesters didn’t make it into the building as Bam Nuttall had stepped up its security since the last incident.

The campaigners, from Thames Valley Climate Action, spent an hour and a half today outside the offices. They object to the construction of the first coal fired power station in the UK for 30 years.

It is not clear why they have targeted Bam Nuttall twice, while other bidders have not been affected by action.

A Bam Nuttall spokesman said: “The protesters spend about an hour and a half outside the building. They unfurled a banner and chanted slogans.

“This time they weren’t able to get into the building as we’d stepped up security so after a while they dispersed and left of their own volition.”
