Anti-quarry protesters in Derbyshire say they will continue fighting despite losing a High Court ruling. The High Court has ruled they must leave the protest camp near Stanton Lees.
An eviction notice was served early on Friday by the Stancliffe Stone quarrying company.
The campaigners want to stop the expansion of the Endcliffe and Lees Cross quarries.
Waiting game
They spent the weekend strengthening tunnels and fortifying tree houses.
The environmentalists also say the nearby Nine Ladies Stone Circle could be damaged by quarry expansion.
Louis Gabis, who has spent the last three years at the camp, said the group would be ready for the officials.
He said: "They tend to wear high visibility vests...so nice and early in the morning, when we expect to see them, they'll be very visible.
"I sleep in my tree house and a lot of people sleep in their defences so when they do come in, it's just make a lot of noise and then just wait really."
The quarrying company said there is no time limit on when they have to enforce the eviction notice, but it will not be taking action to remove protesters immediately.
