EAST-WEST LINK: Protesters blockade office

East-west link tunnel protesters have blockaded three entrances of building giant John Holland’s Collingwood office as the group takes on the private sector in its fight against the project.

Bike chains were placed around gates at the entrance on Tuesday morning and protesters linked arms, preventing workers from entering the office and car park. Police told protesters the chains would be cut.

About 40 protesters were at the office in Trenerry Crescent, protest leader Anthony Main said about 7.30am.

“We will be here as long as it takes,” Mr Main said.

“Police will will have to get more reinforcements if they want us to move,” he said.
