Oxford supporters of the Newbury by-pass protest attempted to blockade the gates of a former institution at Steventon where security guards working at the Newbury protests were staying in dormitories. The first attempt was not very successful despite lock-ons and arrests so a better action was planned for the early morning of 6 Feb 1996. A tripod of scaffolding poles was swiftly erected at each of the two gates and a protestor sat up each one. However a special police squad, angry at being woken so early, was ordered over from near London and very efficiently removed the blockade and arrested four people who were detained for 36 hours. The blockade perhaps achieved a slight delay in security getting to Newbury
