BBC Interview Campaigners at Butterfly Meadows in Alton, Hampshire
On Saturday 6th of September 2014, campaigners gathered at Butterfly Meadows in Alton Hampshire for a BBC report on the excessive residential building planned for the site. Ginny Boxall is the lead campaigner that started the petition to protect this place of natural beauty, home of many butterflies, barn owls and other wildlife. The petition has now reached well over 1000 signatures and continues to grow. While we were there, an aggressive employee of the landowners, the HCA, approached us while he was out spraying weed killer on Japanese Knotweed. He complained about his picture being taken and ordered that the footage be deleted. He even threatened the people from the BBC claiming that he'd called the police and that they were on their way. To respect his wishes and to keep the tone of the video positive, I have left out this part of the video. The report was shown on South Today that evening.

'Anstey Park Life' by Dave Knight
We were chatting to local poet Dave Knight down the pub the other night about Anstey Park. Dave, being a good bloke, wrote us a poem. We liked it so much we made a little movie. We hope you like it. Alton Town Councilors & Molson Coors - If you're watching this: LEAVE ANSTEY PARK ALONE!
