Bedfordshire haloween eviction alert

Woodside | 27.10.2002 13:05

Ethnic Cleansing, Nazi Labour style - after John Prescott rejected a planning application by about sixty Romany gypsies - Mid-Beds. council have decided to spend over a quater of a million pounds evicting them FROM THEIR OWN LAND - saying they can live in lay-by's. They will have 60 caravans and between 80 and 100 vehicles to remove.
The planning department's orders state the site must be 'cleared' describing the people who live there as rubbish to be bulldozed out of the way. Nuff said - be there.

>FIGHT ETHNIC-CLEANSING UK-STYLEWoodsideWoodsideWoodsideWOODSIDE< at Hatch, near Sandy, off the A1 in Bedfordshire, already licensed as a holiday park for l50 caravans. We paid £300,000 for it and have spent a lot more making all the improvements we, and the local council, wanted.
Unfortunately for us, this is a very Conservative area and they don't want us here.
We're not political in any way, but we thought the Labour Government, Mr Blair, would support us. So we've been shattered by the decision of John Prescott to turn down our Planning Appeal and let Mid-Beds Council "clear the site", throwing us all on the road.
You might say, well you're Travellers. But we've got our children in school, a number of us are in need of medical care - and we want to settle down. In fact we have, or had, plans to build a community centre. This place was our dream.

NOW WE ARE FACING EVICTION - AND FINANCIAL RUIN, as the Council will make us pay for all the legal costs and the job of getting us off.

We don't intend to let them move us. Not without a fight. But we need your support.
PLEASE MAKE YOUR OPINION KNOWN TO THE COUNCELLORS:
