Their aim was to shut down the power station by entering and taking over the site. As the activists tried to breach the fence some classes broke out with the police. The protesters, under the banner the Great Climate Swoop, include supporters of three pressure groups - the Camp for Climate Action, Plane Stupid and Climate Rush. Ratcliffe-on-Soar was chosen as the activists’ target in an online vote following the Climate Camp held in London in August.
They want all coal-fire power stations to be decommissioned and environmentally friendly energy options used.
