ENVIRONMENTAL group Extinction Rebellion (XR) was mired in controversy today after activists dug up the lawn of Trinity College in Cambridge as part of a week of protests.
The group said the action on Monday was taken against the “destruction of nature” over the Cambridge University college’s role in a major development in the Suffolk countryside.
Trinity College owns Innocence Farm in Suffolk and is attempting to sell the land to the Port of Felixstowe in order to develop a lorry park for 3,000 vehicles, XR Cambridge warned.
