GREEN campaigner Christiana Tugwell and her young son Aaron have joined the "Camp Bling" anti-road protest.
Christiana hit the headlines in 1999 when, aged just 15, she camped on land near her home in Hockley in a vain attempt to stop a housing estate being built.
Now she is among stalwarts braving the freezing temperature at a protest camp near Priory Park, Southend. They aim to thwart plans to widen the Priory Crescent dual-carriageway.
Southend Council last night said it was pressing ahead with the road project, which has been approved at public inquiry.
