Protesters camped out on Ryebank Fields for nearly a year to stop a housing development have now built their own home

It has been 287 days since protesters started camping out on a field on Manchester's border with Trafford to save it from development.

What started as a community campaign to save Ryebank Fields, Chorlton, has turned into a mass protest with an entire house being built on the land to keep it occupied, and to stop other homes being built there.

Since April 24 2021, campaigners have been sure to not leave the Ryebank site unattended for fear of it being closed off to the public.
