It's not taken long for people to support the activists who were convicted for their roles at a protest and ordered to pay thousands of pounds.
The seven defendants who are facing up to £8,000 in fines and legal costs.
Jamie Russell, one of the protesters, from Shrewsbury, said the crowd-funder, which was set up by his co-defendant Pamela Williams, from Llanidloes, was to cover the costs resulting from their trial. Speaking about the latest fundraiser Mr Russell said they were hugely grateful to the people who had supported them."Nobody involved in the crowd-funder sees any of the money, it just goes to the courts or the lawyers, no one claims any expenses.He added:"If you are being faced with court costs and fines then at a certain point any money you have spare will have gone so this is a way to enable people to take this kind of action and maybe not face the full brunt of the court costs.
