Some background information:
Two years ago Birmingham City Council closed the only free Nursery in the community and left it empty, denying the community access to the garden they had just created. We squatted the building last month and opened it up as a working social centre with cafe and children's space, re-opening the space for the welfare of the neighbourhood. We are currently under threat of eviction from the building but not from the garden. We are hosting this public meeting with people who originally raised lottery money to create the community garden - the meeting is to decide what future we as local residents want for the garden and the building. See you all there!
