A FATHERS 4 Justice campaigner from Bookham has set up camp on top of Justice Secretary Chris Grayling's home.

Martin Matthews climbed on to the roof of the Epsom and Ewell MP's home in Ashtead with supplies at 9pm last night.

Surrey Police officers are currently speaking to the protester and are "closely monitoring" the situation.

In a statement on its website, New Fathers 4 Justice said: "He has put up a banner which reads 'Mum and Dads United'.

"He has set up camp on top of the roof and has enough supplies to last several days. This is another protest to highlight the injustice parents face in the present family court system."

Mr Matthews climbed onto the roof of the Epsom and Ewell MP's constituency office in Barnett Wood Lane, Ashtead, on Fathers' Day in 2013 and again in 2012.

A Surrey Police spokeswoman said they were called to the address at 12.15am this morning after a report of trespassing.

She said: "Officers attended the scene and located a man who claims he is holding a protest. Police are closely monitoring the situation.

"Officers are speaking with the man who is currently on the roof of the property and appropriate updates will follow in due course."

Mr Grayling has not yet responded to requests for a comment.
