Nothing is ‘normal’ when it comes to MBR Acres but one thing that you can count on is the exact time that the workers leave during the week – 4.00pm.
Watch the video below of the workers leaving at 4.00pm – Notice anything different or out of the ordinary?
Notice any traffic apart from the exiting workers?
Where MBR Acres/Camp Beagle is located is along the B1090 which tends to be a cut through from to and from the St Ives area to the A1 and attracts a high level of traffic from lorries to vans and from cars to agricultural vehicles.
Two Police cars were seen to drive past MBR Acres at around 3.50pm – at around 4.00pm the busy road was quiet with no traffic.
Approximately 200 metres either side of the main gates of MBR Acres the Police cars had stopped the traffic to enable the workers to exit ‘safely’.
After the workers had exited both Police cars left with a huge tailback of frustrated drivers behind them some of whom took their anger out towards Camp thinking that they had caused the hold up.
Is this a new policy from CaMBRidgeshire Police, dictated by the Home Office, as the site has been deemed as being key to ‘national security‘?
Whatever the reasoning behind this policy it is clearly is a waste of taxpayers money and the resources of the hard pressed CaMBRidgeshire Police as throughout of 4 years plus of Camp Beagle’s existence not once has any MBR Acres staff been stopped from exiting.*
