St Albans freight terminal proposals move forward with land purchase

A difficult land purchase has been completed, despite opposition from local groups and a deeply divided local authority. The issue has seen a small band of dogged protestors picketing the site, and mounting a ‘fight the freight’ campaign, picked up by local media.
