(This is an issue with our current features system - people have grown  
used to trying to fit everything into the abstract and people don't  
expect to find much worth reading in the whole article).

I also realise that the existing article body is now too specific to  
the climate rush action in london rather than coal actions generally

awards categories as an addition.

Could probably go back further in the article body to mention the coal  
train action as court cases for that will be happening soon.
