Resist Bournbrook squat eviction, Birmingham

Random | 05.12.2004 13:27 | Free Spaces | Birmingham

Ho Ho Ho and a Merry Christmas

its that time of year again folks when Birmingham city council looks at their lists to see whos been naughty and whos been nice and decides to evict the lot of them regardless

Next on their list is us

Bournbrook Nursery Social Centre, formed back in late August to provide an autonomous space for the community to use, is under threat of eviction by the council.

Since being reclaimed and repaired it has put back into use the nursery’s garden, plus hosted film nights supported by Birmingham Indymedia, provided a safe meeting space for local groups (such as Birmingham Bi Women and West Midlands Anarchists) and held Chi-gong courses. It has also maintained an open forum for the local community to discuss the new proposed road development.

The council are set to turn up sometime on Monday so we need some support.

THIS EVICTION WILL LEAVE 3 HOMELESS PEOPLE ON THE STREETS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AWAY FROM CHRISTMAS

MONDAY 6th December 2004 from 8am
Bournbrook Social Centre
Bournebrook Road Selly Oak
Opposite Birmingham University gates on the Bristol road
To get there, take bus 61, 62, 63 from Corporation Street)

Bring whistles, pots n pans to play, costume, anger 'n'ya energy, humour.

To be honest it’s been a hard slog guys, but we’ve seen some worthwhile things come out of this space. Any help received, even if it is just a 'good luck' call/txt/email, is well appreciated and does loads to help boost people down at the centre.

For Every Eviction Another Occupation
