Eco mania
Article Abstract:
Many contractors see protestors as a joke, but many protest movements include self styled eco-terrorists, teenage thugs, suburban lawyers academics and architects and middle class student ideologues. They are mostly intelligent, and resolute single-issue campaigners. Some road protestors are moving on to other construction developments, such as offices, superstores and luxury housing. Security consultants believe that contractors must be able to respond to both peaceful protests and threats.
