Correction to Meltdown twitter

Friend of Payner | 31.03.2009 16:37

There has been no eviction attempt of the Payn House convergence space and it is open and ready for people. The G20 Meltdown twitter incorrectly reported an eviction at the space.

We have a beautiful four-storey building with running water and loads of crash space. Please come down and bring supplies! We could especially do with some food. We have a kitchen, but no cooking facilities.

The police and a FIT team have now come down and set up camp at either end of Earl's road. They are currently conducting stop and searches and generally trying to scare people away with intimidation tactics. There were also journalists and cameras around earlier in the day.

Do not bring anything with you that could be grounds for arrest. You do not have to give them your name or any other details. Ensure that if you are stopped and searched that you receive documentation of the incident.

We encourage people to arrive in groups in possible. We also recommend that you contact us to check the current status of things and advised routes prior to arrival: 07532 220513.

See you soon!
