A steady stream of people have begun to descend a remote Medway location as this year's Camp for Climate Action gets underway.

The mystery over the chosen site ended shortly after 3pm on Wednesday as around 100 people entered and secured a remote field at Deangate Ridge, Hoo - close to the Medway council run golf course and athletic track.

More than 3,000 people from across the UK are expected to join them from Sunday to protest at plans to build a new coal fired plant at Kingsnorth.

Terry Graves, who has already pitched his tent up in the field, said: "We have a future to protect and today, in setting up the climate camp, we've drawn a line in the sand at Kingsnorth."

A spokesman for Kent Police said: "We can confirm a small group of protestors has arrived and we are monitoring the situation."

An estimated 50 officers drawn from police forces across the UK, including Manchester and Staffordshire, stood guard yesterday around the perimeter of the camp as people started to arrive.

A steady stream of vehicles and protesters entered the site, filmed by office with many stopped for registration and licence checks.

The camp is already taking shape with solar panels and wind generators under construction in readiness to power the week long protest from August 3-11.

Medway Council, meanwhile, says it is working closely with Kent police to ensure the well-being of residents.

A spokesman, said: "The council is determined to ensure that it is ‘business as usual’ for local people and that services are maintained while the campaigners are in Medway.

"The council has helped keep people informed and made arrangements to keep any disruption to a minimum.

"While the people of Medway are always happy to welcome visitors, the council’s primary concern is with making sure residents are free to go about their business."
