Ratcliffe Power Station ‘Climate Swoop’

On Saturday 17th October 2009, around one thousand climate activists attempted to shut down Ratcliffe-on-Soar coal power station in Nottinghamshire, taking direct action with repeated breaches of the security fencing.

The action came only weeks before the UN COP15 Climate Conference in Copenhagen, and followed the arrest of 114 activists in Nottingham for allegedly planning to infiltrate the power station in April.

The 'Ratcliffe 114 case later collapsed when it was revealed that the uncovered #spycops undercover police officer, Mark Kennedy, had spied on legally privileged information and hios police handlers had withheld evidence from the trial.
