The campaign at this stage was entering its third week and had become a 24 hour vigil. Despite this, during a thunderstorm in the early hours of the morning,  the pile driving equipment arrived, accompanied by a large number of guards (approx 30).

People were taken aback by such a show of force. There was hardly much need for such a presence- there were only 2 campaigners left at the bridge at that stage, but thankfully there was no one hurt or injured.
