An eco campaigner is continuing his tree top protest over the redevelopment of Bonn Square.

Gabriel, 34, who will not reveal his last name, spent last night in a makeshift tree hut in protest against a £1.5 million redevelopment project.

He had climbed the tree yesterday morning and said he will stay in his shelter until he is dragged out.

Last night several homeless people joined his protest by sleeping at the bottom of the sycamore tree, and handing him food via a rope.
