	M11 link road protest
		The M11 link road protest was an anti-road campaign in London, UK in the early 1990s.
		Locally-based protest against the link road scheme was taking place, but the availability of free housing along the route attracted large numbers of campaigners from around the UK and beyond.
		Many veterans of the anti-M11 link road campaign went on to protest the construction of other road schemes such as the A34 Newbury bypass in Berkshire; campaigns such as these helped to shift public opinion in the UK away from the unfettered building of new roads.

		The M11 link road protest was an anti-road campaign in London, United Kingdom in the early 1990s.
		Many veterans of the anti-M11 link road campaign went on to protest the construction of other road schemes such as the A34 Newbury bypass at Newbury in Berkshire; campaigns such as these helped to shift public opinion in the UK away from the unfettered building of new roads.
		In the years after the campaign, the Conservative administration shelved the plans for a number of proposed road schemes, and it is only since the turn of the 21st century that the current Labour Government is beginning once more to plan an increase in major road network upgrades.

	The Sharp Side: The M11 Link Road Protests (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Soon the ‘No M11 Link Road’ campaign had attracted hundreds of supporters, assisted by the fact that the road route was adjacent to three stations on the London underground Central Line and easily accessible and that it was lined with now empty properties which could be squatted in, obstructing the demolition and road clearance programme.
		The ‘No M11 Link Road’ protests were largely concentrated in the period September 1993-November 1994 and roughly developed over that year from the Wanstead end of the road construction down to the Leytonstone end.
		The three highlights were the protest against the bulldozing of the chestnut tree on Wanstead Green, the siege of some large houses in Wanstead collectively dubbed the independent republic of Wanstonia, and the siege of Claremont Road in Leytonstone.

		Ten years ago hundreds of anti-road protesters were evicted from a row of houses in Wanstead by an army of 600 police, security guards and bailiffs.

	The Politics of Anti-road Struggle and the Struggles of Anti-Road politics - The Case of the No M11 link Road Campaign ...
		In the first place, the struggle against the M11 link road has highlighted many issues which people recognize as essentially social; some participants were motivated by the threat to the 300 houses on the route of the road rather than the destruction of trees and green spaces.
		Equipment, materials, structures, offices, vehicles, fences and machinery at link road sites were damaged all the time, sometimes by a large crowd who would outnumber security and disappear when the police arrived, but more often by small groups who operated out of view of security.
		Linked as it is with all the historical baggage of campaigns to gain civil rights, the strategy of non-violence was articulated within the No M11 campaign on a number of occasions as a way of bringing us more into the democratic fold.

	Claremont Road, Wanstonia, and M11 link road protest
		And by this time, the road was well bookmarked for death, and official maps saw the M11 road now running right through it.
		Of course, the inhabitants of Claremont were on borrowed time, and in the final months the road was a small island in the middle of miles of bulldozered land and building sites, all cordoned off and protected by security mobsters.
		But that day, I passed by in shock, as the road was filled with 100's of riot police, and the Crusties had taken to the rooftops.

		If Twyford was the campaign that launched the 1990s road protest movement, M11 was the one that anchored it, providing a platform for others to take off from, such as the campaigns at Solsbury Hill near Bath, the M65 near Preston, and the Pollok Estate in Glasgow.
		The next phase of road protests – campaigns such as Newbury and Fairmile – brought awareness of the issues to every tabloid reader in the land.

		Barely two years ago the No M11 Link Road Campaign consisted of a group of about 20-30 local residents of the Leyton and Leytonstone area and a few environmentally-minded allies (mostly middle-aged and middle-class) from elsewhere in East London.
		The movement had changed completely in a few weeks, and the original residents who had spent years fighting the road were soon completely superseded if not entirely ignored by the influx of so-called crusties and eco-warriors.
		And Link Road campaign supporters have also been at the forefront of a number of spectacular publicity stunts, including the occupation of the roof of the Houses of Parliament the evening before Guy Fawkes Night and the garden party in Michael Howard's front garden in Kent recently.

		Although we combine on a practical level to "stop the road" with various tactics, underlying objectives may vary from a sustainable transport policy (whatever that means!), to promotion of a lifestyle or an organisation, or to global industrial collapse.
		However, pro-roads lobbyists and local green activists agree that the Twyford protests were a major factor in the scrapping of the East London River Crossing through Oxleas Wood in 1993; and that Newbury had an effect on the decision to drop the Salisbury Bypass because of its "environmental disbenefits"4 in 1997.
		Contractors are judged by their ability to deal with protests; Tarmac's pious public declaration that the Newbury Bypass was too environmentally damaging for them (with no chance of securing the contract anyway) was a PR coup.

		This group pioneered many of the tactics that were core to the road protests in Britain, from sitting in condemned trees (which evolved into building dwellings in trees in Britain) to blockading logging vehicles.
		In the case of the tree protests, activists prevented work vehicles gaining entry to areas where the road was to be built, halted work on the site and ‘locked on’ to trees to prevent them being cut down.
		While road protest camps were invariably evicted and replaced by tarmac, the movement had a considerable impact on the government’s road policy.
