The illegal eviction of Smash EDO peace camp has been averted by Bighton Council who were unwilling to approve an illegal eviction which appears to have been prompted by Sussex police and Guardian Guards (EDO's security firm) based in Worthing.

Police have colluded with EDO's security firm Guardian Guards in an attempt to illegally evict the campers from council property.

Apparently one of Brighton's Councillors is now going investigate why they couldn't contact the Park Ranger at the time of the attempted eviction. The Park Ranger turned his phone off at the request of Lynch, head goon of Guardian Guards.

The camp is now secure and the evidence gathering team has driven off.

A noise demo is continuing outside EDO at present.
