March against planned evicton by Tory led Chelmsford Borough Council.

Council leader Malcom Buckley has commissioned notorious private bailiff firm, Constant & Co., to draw up eviction plans. The council have set aside £1.5 million to cover the expected cost. In similar operations at nearby Chelmsford and at Ridge, Hertfordshire, riot police have been mustered in support of Constant bailiffs and numbers of people assaulted and injured.

The march will take place at 12 noon on Saturday, l4 May at Gloucester Park, Basildon – the day after some 80 families are supposed to vacate their 50 crowded yards. Travellers hope this last appeal will persuade council leader Tory Malcolm Buckley to call off what would be an inevitably violent attack on the settlement. Such an eviction was originally contemplated for l3 May, when temporary planning permission expires.

More details upcoming soon.
