Re: Three 'Rotherwas Ribbon' campaigners charged by police by coldrum on Saturday, 14 July 2007

An 81-year-old man has been charged with aggravated trespass after taking part in a sit-in at council buildings to save a 4,000-year-old stone feature.
Eight protesters were arrested on Thursday at Herefordshire Council after cabinet members refused to discuss the future of the Rotherwas Ribbon.

West Mercia Police said two women, aged 72 and 46, had also been charged with the same offence.

The other five campaigners have been released on bail.

Herefordshire Council wants to build a protective shield over the Rotherwas Ribbon and build a relief road over it.

Police were called to the council's Brockington building after reports of unrest there on Thursday afternoon.

Archaeologists have said the 197ft (60m) long ribbon of stones, found by road builders, could be as important as Stonehenge.
