A war of words has erupted as the blockade, launched by the Barrington Gloucester Stroud Preservation Alliance continues.
Gloucester Shire Council mayor Geoff Slack has said while he is happy for people to protest, he doesn’t condone people breaking the law by blocking a public road.
He said the impact of the blockade on other businesses and people is of concern.
”If companies have to start standing down people, there is a flow on effect through the community,” Cr Slack said.
As a solicitor Cr Slack said he had spent 40 years trying to uphold the law and he said the blockade was not a lawful activity and as such he would not be visiting the site.
The Mayor said council has previously given its in principal support to the AGL gas project and AGL has been granted government approval for the project.
