What backs it

A High Court injunction was secured over a Bank Holiday weekend to stop unauthorised digger work that began Saturday on a wildlife-rich field in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, after hundreds of residents mobilised to protest the destruction of habitat used by muntjac deer and other species.

Worth noting

A further court hearing is scheduled for 15 September; the injunction is temporary and does not finally resolve the matter.
